      I would support Trump 100% if he decided to create a law demanding all people from the UK to speak with an American accent. He is their president also

            You have to look at it from the other perspective, it would be like having Americans learn Russian - not so easy.

                  It adds character speaking with broken english.

                  "I kill you"
                  "I vill break hands if he is dirty"
                  "I show who is #1, who is real champ"
                  "drama show"
                  "hey woman, I vant to ***, ok"

                    Not necessarily, but of course you would talk out of your ass...

                    If the fighter makes money from the US without learning english, why would they bother learning it? Again, it's not like english speaking people set the example in learning new languages.

                    I actually work at an international level, and the three lingua francas commonly used are English, French and Spanish. The enlgish speakers are regularly the only monolinguals.

                      God you're dumb. Speaking English in the county where you're making your money AND reaching the largest audience is only going to enhance ones popularity. Not doing so, well, your not reaching your audience.
