As more of the world are teaching English as a second language, English speakers should make some concessions. I have heard an Indonesian English teacher comment that there are many anomalies in the english language that are not present in other languages. More people would keep learning English through school if it wasn't so hard. I propose a committee of experts be convened to simplify English language in those areas where it can be simplified without losing meaning. Their recommendations should be adopted by the Queen of England, and published widely to denote the acceptability of the new changes. There will be objectors, but as with all things, that should not be a reason for common sense not to prevail.
