Yes and that's because it's the most widespread language. No problem there. It's just that english is easy and helps people communicate.

And i'm with sheriff ice 100%. No language is as articulate or as beautiful as the arabic language. And i find myself to be truly lacking because i find myself incapable of reading truly articulate arabic texts.

This isn't a matter of arabic pride or anything of a sort. Arabic language is just so damned beautiful!!!

But in vcoderz, seeing as not all members can read arabic then english is the best choice since all members can use it.

arabic is outdated weather we like this or not , its a fact not an opinion , and arabic is one of the hardest languages in the world to the extent that its very hard on the people who have it as a mother tongue , i mean i feel disgusted every time i read about its grammar and i always hated the "i3rab" thingy , such a stupid thing! most of the university students in lebanon are weak in arabic but strong in english .
then if i had to write in arabic it would take me hours to write a paragraph like this one , not to mention the limitations of expressing myself cause of the lack of arabic terms in my knowledge.

so a language should be hard in order to be smart?? i find english as the smartest language on the planet for being so easy that you dont need to crack your head open to understand it.

Just a question, how does a language become outdated?

Smart people can learn difficult things, stupid people can't.
Smart people can learn physics on an advanced level, stupid people can't.
Smart people can learn a complex language, stpd ppl prefr to rite lik dis.

Basically, what you said here is that English is a language for people who can't handle grammar, which is kind of sad. Not only did you answer your previous question with an answer that contradicts your argument, your answer was also false.
The English language does have grammar, it's just that most people don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" and think that "beautifulest" is a word.

With globalization there must be a language that everyone can use to communicate. It just so happens that the British had a sport which was called "let's-see-how-many-countries-we-can-steal-kill-and-pillage-in-before-their-people-get-pissed", that sport led to people in those countries using the English language as a second language, much like we in Lebanon have French.
With English being the most widespread, it became a global standard, not because it was very good, but because more people already knew it.

In addition, english is cooler, it has words like ROFLMAO and STFU and n00b. and it also supports abbreviations. RAP is better in english too. there is no arabic vocal trance, and poems is the only thing where arabic excells, but who likes poems anyway.
and LADY GAGA doesn't speak arabic.

i positively absolutely seriously cannot believe how someone can take this post seriously and start asking me questions about every sentence. this is all sarcasm, and YES, i prefer english over arabic, i even tend to speak english with my friends who are well acquainted with this language.
Nevertheless, i have good arabic linguistic skills and i can write in arabic if it wasn't for the arabic keyboard, and i can understand arabic texts that have some embodied meanings. Preferring a language over the other doesn't mean i'm illiterate and that i barely know how to write my name in arabic.

FYI, arabic is the hardest alphabet based language to write. English is the easiest language to learn.

I don't understand how this thread turned into an English vs Arabic fight.
At first, I was going to write a technical article on what's more efficient to use. However, I realized that we're in 2010, so I stopped.
Now the thing that's left from what I was going to say:
Arabic or English, it doesn't matter, المهم توصل لفكرة.

Nothing to add here.

Then it's their problem. Everyone should first know his/her language well before others. And like Sheriff said:

Then your professor doesn't know about russian language where we have hundreds exceptions.
