On averages more people speak English than Germen but it is not a major
science languages Greek and Latin beat it with English. As well a lot of 
science words are greek or latin. Now to be true full English
or any other language that science is writen in will contain Greek and
latin in places. Also all science groups I know on internet chat
in English as it is the most comon languages world wide. Of course
if another language would get world wide and bigger than English
then it would replace English as the most common language used
in science.

I dont say that people who use german here sould get into trouble for 
using it. But they must understand that a few people might get
upset(Ie they can not read it so dont understand what in hell
it means). I wish that a I knew where to get a freeware language
Translator as I can read german with a help of a german to
english dictory. I had to do one year of a language at my 
school and the only one offered was german(ie I only
know the basics no more).

I would guess there are a lot of people from canda, U.S.A, Austalia
and England who can only read and write in one language.
Between these so call English languages there are parts that
dont match. These difference are tolorance but a tolorance
of what you can not read is slim.
