    Fuck no. English is a terrible language, at least learning wise. Also keep in mind Liberian English still counts as English and if you've ever heard Liberians speak you know why this is useless.

    I would make everyone outside of the Anglosphere (and Anglo-Americans) unable to speak it. Sick and tired of hearing the world's opinions.
