Stop teaching any other languages. Society will be better off without French,German,Japanese,Spanish,Yiddish etc etc

Why english?
They tried to make a universal language (Esperanto) and currently only about 50k people speak it. You will also never convince the French to stop speaking their language.
Care to pick a slightly more rationally structured language (i.e. easier to learn) than English?

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head

All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
