Also while we're on the topic of anglo language imperialism. It's extremely fucked up that

1) a lot of job opportunities with upward mobility in non-Anglo countries require a mandatory level of English proficiency

2) demonstrating this proficiency is usually done through internationally certified english assessment tests, which are offered by institutions from anglo countries, and which you usually have to pay hundreds of dollars to take

3) the results for the vast majority of these tests are only valid for two years, after which you have to pay to take them again

Which means that anglos have created an extremely lucrative industry built entirely on coercing millions of people all over the world into a lifelong cycle of paying millions of dollars to people in the US and England for a chance to prove that they still know how to speak their language with a sufficient level of proficiency to be able to keep their jobs.
