    "I'm in the car
    Blue
    And gross
    And there are many rabbits
    In my trousers
    But I hope I was the big mushroom today
    Good choice "

      @@egg0534 English is more important because the americans have a lot of geopolitical influence, but before the beginning of the pax americana age, french was as important as english and it was used a lot more (still is) than it in treaty signings, french was the de facto diplomatic language of the world. Not used as much nowadays but still relevant since french is spoken fluently by 270 million people worldwide and is recognized as an official language in 29 countries making it the 5th most spoken language in the world.
