As a native English speaker who only speaks a little German, if everyone agreed that the world should switch over to Mandarin and standardize on it, I would be fine with it.

In my opinion, having a standardized language is very important. There are a number of different groups online that I'm interested in, but due to language barriers, I can't be part of them. Could I learn all those different languages? Yes, but in my opinion it wouldn't be worth the effort.
