I have thought about it and so have others, It even was a item in our famous TV show "zondag met Lubach". And, no I too doubt that the 27 will ever agree on an alternatiove for English.

English is the dominant language for the written word. It is the langauge in which most is published world wide. (So far)

He may be right but the language the most people have as their native language is Kantonese...
Not so long ago French was the language of Post and telecommunication.
GSM originally stands for "Groupe Speciale Mobile".
And of course Latin was the language of the academic world. All history.
