You seem to have a hard time understand the point: languages are not owned by a country, culture, nation. They're passed on. Your 'American English' comes from German (and some French, and others as well). Following your (very questionable) logic, should we not say English is mostly German and therefore that Americans are speaking a derivative of German? That would be silly.
Also, languages are a mix of others. To flirt, which is such a nice English thing to do, comes from the French 'compter fleurette', while to fuck, which is such an American thing to do, may come from the Dutch fokken (aka a derivative of German Ficken). So are American speaking French when they're romantic with one another and are they speaking Dutch or German when they have sex?
Then, the English we're now speaking around the world is neither US nor English, it's international. Its a new mix.
Enough with that. Like I already said, you're welcome... to keep ignoring facts that don't suit your narrative. I've noticed how trendy this habit has become and I quickly learned to be OK with that, as much as I accept the risk I may step on some dog poop while I get out of my house for a walk in the city.
Have a nice day.
Just because international diplomacy uses english does not mean out languages are dying out ffs.
Why is that? Should I disappear if French language was to disappear? Am I legally bond to speak only French or to keep my mouth shut?
I love French. It's one of the nicest language I can think of but I speak four languages and I can ask my way around in a few others. So, I would not worry too much about my ability to communicate with people if my dear French language was to suddenly vanish... but why and where would it so suddenly vanish? Maybe in the vast emptiness of our soulless age? It could be that. It's such a sad age, so ill suited for a joyful language like French.
More seriously, France is certainly not the superpower it once was, we can all agree on that (some will agree a lot more happily than other, I know that) but French is something like the 6th or 7th most spoken language on the planet if I recall well (which I may not). And even though it's hard to date the apparition of a language, French has been officially around for more than 1100 years and the last time I checked on its label, the expiration date was not anytime soon.
Lastly, don't forget the most essential point: we French have this unique way of speaking English that makes us so charming. So, yeah, I would not worry too much about French going away.
The size of the metaphor one may step in mostly depends the dog. And the carelessness of its owner.
Some people should really care more about their dog and their metaphors.
