I reside (and was born) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. DrPhibes: most fluent English speakers live in Asia (about a billion or so in South and South-East Asia, and the numbers are rapidly increasing in China), and there are several hundred million English speakers in Africa. A few countries have low rates of English usage: for example Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, parts of southern Europe, and of course France and its colonies, but they're the exception. |

Zoetrope -- how's the Bombers going this year? You a football fan? Has Wayne Carey kicked his millionth goal yet? What's up with the Swans and Plugger? Mukashi mukashi (a long time ago) i lived in North Richmond, just next to Carlton brewery -- what a wicked place! You ever check out the Bakers Arms? If it's still there it's a great pub. BTW i meant "native" english speakers (kind of a racist terminology, but one we seem to be stuck with). I just get tired of confronting euro-american centricism, and the "other" category rankled. Thanks for pointing out the fact that there are more people in Asia and Africa (showing their vast intellectual expertise) speaking english (as a second language) than there are "native" speakers. Why the Japanese have not mastered this (despite their also vast intellectual expertise) is something i often ponder on the train to Tokyo. Maybe something to do with their retreat into the "inner world" after WWII. Cheers |
