English (not American, mind you) is convenient right now, because it is
pretty simple, easy to handle in aging software, and works as a lingua
franca of the IT/software community for the time being. We might see
that shift to Mandarin, one of the languages I unfortunately do not yet
speak, but who knows.
So please calm down. The world is a big place, and America is neither
its navel nor did it invent the English language. ;-)
