>It is the availability of stuff written and published in English that makes English a clever language. My mother tongue is Portuguese. When I read something technical in Portuguese I laugh. The conciseness of English for technical stuff is wonderful.>

There are many languages that have as much versatility as English to express scientific or artistic thought. The advantage of English (the advantage does exist) is just the result of the domination of US and UK over the last two centuries. Now you can use the argument that the domination of US and UK has been because of the language they speak. That may be a wrong conclusion. Other factors such as the political systems, justice systems, financial systems, and independent institutions are more important than language. North Koreans and South Koreans speak the same language. East Germans and West Germans speak the same language. North Indians and Pakistanis speak the same languages.
