Did you know
china is going to be the number 1 english speaking country in the world. that is weird because the U.S has had english the most durning its existance and china has its own language. I am taking French and the U.S will probably take up spanish. Another thing is Bermuda has the highest percentage of people in the world that can get on to the internet at anytime. the U.S is number 19 and Japan is number 22. the U.S should be number 1 and it shows that the U.S doesn't really care about this stuff even though the U.S considers themselves a world power.
