Re: Pointless English
Just been on a quick VFR visit to London. You could have kidded me that English has reached global dominance. About the only native English speakers I encountered were black cab drivers. Whereas the catering labour market appears dominated by Italian speakers.

A quick addition: no one tells English speakers that they should pronounce Birmingham as Beer-min-gam when speaking Italian.

Only by journalists when they have to write a title for an article and don't have enough space.

Re: Pointless English
Interested to see that a liceo internazionale which prides itself on teaching everything in English has 'Economy' in the curriculum this year. Wonder if they'll be teaching how to save up or spend money in the best possible way?
..or perhaps they meant Economics.?
Morning all.
