What a wonderful lecture! In today's connected world it's inconceivable to me so much information would be hidden, be it on some servers or in old dusty books. We need to liberate the data, but on the other hand, tools that can sift through it all and help us make sense of it are essential. I commend prof. Rosling on his vigor and enthusiasm for taking on some of the biggest challenges of our time.

it's only useful to know english if useful information is being conveyed in english and not some other language that you may know.
and as much as english is a very simple language (only 28 letters in the alphabet, etc etc) it's also very limited. and there are constant little fixes made all the time.
it would be better to learn a more complete, more widely used language as opposed to english. that's how i feel about it.
and english is my mother tongue. i added german, dutch, spanish, french

Did anybody say that he should speek just English? English isn't my mother's tongue and in everyday life I speak Polish but it's very useful to know some foreign languages too.
Hablo también español
et je parle francais
And I think that is not affecting my Polish at all.

Awful or not, it's useful to know it. An in a matter of fact it's very easy;)

Or he could have the right to preserve his language and get the information availible in that language, how about you learn how to show some respect.
