Is English The Second Language of the World?

An interesting video for the weekend from our friends at Ted.com about whether English is becoming the second language of the world (where most folks speak another language as their mother tongue).

When I grew up in Montreal, I lived through the years of Bill 22 and then Bill 101 which forced immigrant families who did not speak English to go to French schools, so this discussion is interesting to me in many different ways.

English seems to be the standard in aviation already, is it being adopted by other industries in the same way? Is it the language of money? Not sure, but an interesting discussion none the less.
