Sorry I don’t understand - the link you posted shows that “most people” actually speak mandarin and Spanish?

Parent provided a poor link by just using a Google search results.

English is not the most popular 1st spoken language, but it is the most spoken language overall.

1.5B speakers is still not "most people", even if it is the most spoken language. To be clear none of this matters, but there is nothing more irritating than seeing a nitpick of a nitpick that is still wrong.

That makes more sense. Thanks.
