Because its here, there & everywhere. Its Britain's finest export. If it didn't exist, some cleverdick would of had us speaking something like Latin. Just be thankful it's not Gibber Jabber, Double Dutch or Klingon

The French and the Spanish were motivated by dreams of imperial and martial glory. The English were motivated by greed, pure and simple, and created a corporate empire to gratify the lust. They won, ever-body else lost.

doodie, see it just trips off the tongue, In Spanish el excrementa, even sounds just nasty. In German , its "laudenzoundenkrapgfgemachen",
English would have won just by its sheer beauty of sound.
