Well, if you read that on the internet, then it must be true.


mostly Vancouver Island.

I'm confused. You don't believe anything you read on the internet or anything you read?
I know if would be hard to quantify. Especially differentiating speakers from learners. I took Spanish in high school. And I doubt counting to 20 would qualify me as a speaker. I think India could have more English speakers than America. Every customer service center I contact is answered in India. But I would rate most of them as learners.Not speakers.

I spend my winters in a southern California RV park. About half of the people here are Canadian. Eh. And a high percentage from the Island.
