According to a recent study by the British Council, shows that by 2015 half the world's population speaks English.
"From the linguistic point of view, this is a new world," said the expert David Crystal, author of the book English as a global language . "Individuals who speak English as a second language are now three times as many native speakers", as reported by Newsweek. This globalization
language will be a revolution without precedent. In the future, could co-exist three forms of the language, the language that is spoken locally-influenced dialect, a variety of national work and school and English international standard intended to help foreigners. "Mistakes" will be tolerated and the "purists" less understood.
Technology also plays a significant role in the global triumph of English, in fact as much as 80 percent of the data stored electronically in the world today are in that language.
