"Because its the lingua franca of the world.......the language of business."

When Daimler acquired Chrysler, they changed their policies so that all meetings and internal communications were done in English. It wasn't just for the Americans, they have operations all across Europe. And having everyone doing business in their native languages was just becoming a chore.


That's right. Its why English is the lingua franca for the world. It allows everyone to be on the same page.
