OK, I guess your experience as a non-native speaker validates that claim?

I don't see how the claim "English is easy to learn" is obvious on an international level.

> I'm not advocating it because it is the easier choice for me,

But it also is an easier choice for me. Doesn't matter if you're a native speaker or not, since you're obviously comfortable with it.

(On this topic I also see a lot of "I wish everyone would just write in English/speak English in these contexts, and I'm not even a native speaker!", implying that they're an unbiased party. No, if you have a good command of the language, you're about as biased as any native speaker on this debate, really.)

Good point. What I was trying to convey is that it happened the other way round. I know english well because it is the language CS takes place in. Had it been chinese, I had learned chinese. Had it been elvish, I had learned elvish.
