In the news today - 'one-third of French people can't speak English' - shock horror.

The tone of the article is amazing. The writer seems to think that these people are just not trying. One-third of them can't speak English? How on Earth do they communicate?
May I make a small suggestion? Is it just possible that they communicate in French? They are, after all, in France.
The article wisely avoided any comment on how many English people speak French. At the last count, I think the total was five.
Indeed, the writer avoided mentioning how many English people can speak or write fluent English. It's more than five.
But not much more.
