Wouldn't it be more accurate to say the OP speaks English because that's the language the knowledge is stored in?
Language is stored in the balls
No that's pee you idiot
What knowledge¿? If you mean all knowledge, do you think people who don't speak English possess no knowledge¿?
Yes, that's why they are unable to communicate with us.
Wild claim to say that day that people who can't communicate with you possess no knowledge. Does a person who has become dumb due to damage to their vocal cords suddenly lose all their knowledge because they can no longer speak¿?
Also why are they the ones to blame. There is some liability on you as well because if you know their native language, you could speak with them.
I'm guessing they mean that people usually think in their native tongue, so if they are native English speakers, their knowledge is English.
Another guess is that English is often a lingua franca, so society's knowledge is primarily in English.
Beyond that, no clue.
It was obviously about the knowledge that OP was specifically seeking. OP is communicating in English because the knowledge that OP wants is in English. OP could ask for that knowledge in their native language instead, but the knowledge that they specifically want is in English, so it wouldn't help them any.
I disagree. The reason OP asks in English is because the person with the knowledge is only able communicate and transmit that knowledge in English. Knowledge itself has is it restricted to languages. A multi lingual person can express the same fact in several different languages
Isn't most knowledge these days stored in ones and zeros?
You speak binary, my guy?

English evolved as an amalgamation of Germanic and Roman languages which made it easier for western europeans to learn.
I'm pretty sure the popularity of American movies had a huge part in it aswell because that's how myself and most of the people i know learned english.
You guys helping to end WWII is also a fact that can't be ignored as it solidified our respect to the U.S. but those days are long gone unfortunately...
