Everyone complains about english being "THE WORST THING TO EVER EXIST" but nobody ever mentions which language they think would be a better global lingua franca, probably because they know all other languages have their own annoying quirks/downsides.
For my part i will say spanish is pretty easy to learn but the obligatory accentuation, lack of singular words for things and just general lesser versatily than english make it meh at best. Being fluent at both i find english much easier to use for expression, even if it is harder to learn.
Portuguese is like a more nonsensical spanish and french is absolutely bullshit.
