Yeah, but English is really fucking useful.
It's the world's second language. In a fair few countries, kids already speak English before they start school because of the TV shows in English.
Things often look very different when looking at any other foreign language.

Nah. But you do need to give a shit.
The difficulty in getting English-speakers to learn another language is that learning a language well is really hard, and they're all much less useful than English.

It was one of the generation of puny, souped-up embedded OSes (Symbian, BlackBerry) that slimmed-down, desktop-class OSes iOS and Android killed.
