Empires also made use of boats, hammers, and electricity. Imperialism has been conducted in French, Spanish, Japanese, and many other languages. Many strikes and other labor mobilizations have been organized in English. Replacing English as an international standard (though it's an unofficial one) is extremely difficult, and doing so for such a petty reason is annoying at best, heckling at worst.
