Worldwide, German accounts for the most written translations into and from a language. Furthermore, it belongs to the three most learned and to the ten most spoken languages worldwide (according to the Guinness Book of Records).
I don't get your point?!?

Gosh people, lighten up. Many people have a difficult time with the verbs. The verbs kill me. Accept that, and get over it, as it's obviously not a personal attack on Germans. My whole family is of German heritage. And everything I said was also a reference to the title of a popular children's book (and I have no idea if that popularity extends outside of America), which probably wasn't as obvious as I had hoped it would be, so what I said was supposed to be good-humored.
I don't take it personally when people complain about English. I would probably complain about English too if I had to learn it from scratch.
