English is the worldwide language of business and science(except medical..latin has fewer words but more precision). Spanish will never be the worldwide language of business and science because: 1. the vocabulary is too small. English borrows from all languages to give more nuance to the message(nuance is a french word). 2. Spanish averages about 40% more syllables to express the same message as English. Spanish is too slow for business and too limited in expression for science. Here’s an example we’ve all seen. The yellow cones in the airport say “cuidado, piso mohado” (9 syllables)in English, “caution, wet floor(4 syllables). Nuff said.
