Thanks a lot for sharing this Canadian point of view, it's something that I didn't know., and I really appreciate the time you dedicate to send a feedback about this subject.
I think it's also important to think to other billions of people that don't know English at all, don't live in a bilingual country where learning English is easy and maybe they don't use the same alphabet. I think start using a simpler English in every text and encourage translation of documentation, website, etc ... will improve language diversity in the whole world and not only in few countries.
