A very nice and educational cartoon! A minute was enough to draw the outlines of the main reasons why and how English has been what it is now - "Globlish" which actually means Global English. Wow!! I have created a new term Will I be able to understand different Englishes in 30 years from now? My nest move was to search th web for similar names and I have found almost the same term "Globish" the details of whcih you can read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globish_ (Nerriere)
In the 16th century people who lived in Europe didn't know English language. Four hundred years later the speakers of English travelled and carried the language. Now, English is the most important language and people all over the world speak it.
