1) As someone who speaks a minority language (Dutch) in an international setting (Amsterdam), I'm used to solely speaking English at work, to my friends, online etc. I don't expect my South African, Turkish and Venezualan friends to speak Dutch, same as how my Indian colleagues don't expect me to speak Hindi. English is the bridge we all choose to walk when interacting with eachother. Speaking Dutch would mean excluding others.
