What mess?
English is a rich an expressive language.
In a sane world — every human would be learning English.
Very true. The weaknesses of the language are also its strength.
Yes, it actually is.
English owes its expressiveness as well as its confusion to its “diversity” - which libs ought to love. It’s a mish-mash of languages, really.
Other languages are a bit restricted and yet also cumbersome - anyone for gender? (The only true meaning of the word!)

It’s fast becoming that way, at least in most parts of the “educated” world. From what some Europeans and Asians tell me, many of them no longer consider English a “foreign” language.
Rather, English has truly become the default international language that virtually every educated person uses when traveling or communicating outside his/her own country.
