@GustavinoBevilacqua @martinvermeer I feel like this is a ‘out yourself as English’ type of poll. 😞

Not at all.
I used English (and a very plain one) assuming the most of the people can have at least a basic understanding of it.

If I made the same poll in Italian it wouldn't have the same diffusion.

But next week I'll make some "localized" polls.

@GustavinoBevilacqua @martinvermeer No, sorry, I meant, I would imagine the majority of those answering ‘1 language’ are native English speakers, because we are AWFUL at just assuming everyone speaks English snd therefore we don’t need to learn languages! 🤦‍♀️

@GustavinoBevilacqua @martinvermeer The number of ‘shout if they don’t understand you’ fellow citizens I have seen on my travels…

I watch a lot of metalworking videos.
My wife doesn't understand English, but she is so used to very wide Southern US accents (mainly Abom79 and Joe Pie) that when she hear somebody from England or Wales she asks me which language they are speaking.
