In countries like Croatia the police is busy catching criminals instead of helping them inject heroin, going after mean people on Twitter, or calculating if the robbed amount is under 900 USD and then apologising to the thief and giving him a ride home like the SF police do.

Good.

Now we need to get the banks to close the accounts of the creators, the computer makers to stop selling hardware to them or brick it remotely and the utilities to disconnect them.

This would be much simpler if we had a list to put people on so that we could automate the steps.

Soap opera is the english translation of telenovela, nothing dismissive here (see wikipedia).

I would argue that (some) Turkish soap operas/telenovelas are even better produced than spanish language ones.

So I've been watching Spanish language soap operas for 20 years (no judgement please). Lately, the Mexican ones have some characters in them speak in half-English, half-Spanish sentences, with no subtitles, or even full on English sentences, between Spanish sentences. Note that these TV series are targeted at a broad part of the audience, so that implies that they kind of require the watchers to know english to understand them.

There is no question about it, english is eating the world.

Bonus: English is the official working language of the EU, even if English is spoken officially only in Malta.
