	Anglosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The countries of the Anglosphere were military allies in the majority of major world conflicts in the 20th century.
		On the other hand, the English Civil War could quite well be considered a struggle against attempts by English kings to establish an absolute monarchy, and King Henry VIII could quite well be considered to be an absolute monarch.
		The consequences of the World War I did not result in fascism or communism being adopted in the Anglosphere; there were fascist and communist sympathisers, but they never gained political power except in some very limited ways.

	Connecticut College - English Department
		They agreed that majoring in English had not so much prepared them for a specific career as prepared them to think about the world and their own career paths more openly and imaginatively.
		English is a popular subject at Connecticut College - in part because it offers students opportunities for experiencing the pleasures of the imagination, in part because the skills students gain by reading and writing about literature prepare them to participate in a community that is increasingly global in scope.
		English majors work towards understanding the various modes in which the world gets represented; hone their ability to speak and write critically and imaginatively; and become familiar with a curriculum of significant works written over the course of hundreds of years.

	[No title]
		This predominance of English is all the more surprising when it is considered that little over four hundred years ago, English was still an immature language spoken in an isolated European island by around six million people and more-or-less unknown to the rest of the world.
		The rapidly growing interest in English cuts across political and ideological lines because of the convenience of a lingua franca increasingly used as a second language in important areas of the world.
		The notion of English as the most important language in the world is, I think, an ideological production, the creation of the native and non-native elite with a material and professional interest in the language, its retention and dissemination worldwide.

	World English Bible Translation FAQ
		Because World English Bible (WEB) uses the Majority Text as the basis for the New Testament, you may notice the following differences in comparing the WEB to other translations: * The order of Matthew 23:13 and 14 is reversed in some translations.
		English style is a moving target, and there is not widespread agreement on capitalization of pronouns referring to God.
		Because the World English Bible is an update of the American Standard Version of 1901, which does not capitalize pronouns referring to God, it would have required reviewing all pronouns in the Bible for capitalization, determining from the context which referred to God and which did not.

	Catholic World News : Sacred Language Restored
		Oct 2004 (CWR) - The long-awaited revised English translation of the Roman Missal is now approaching its final phase, with bishops' conferences around the English-speaking world recently examining the latest draft translation produced by the Bishops’ Committee of ICEL (the International Commission on English in the Liturgy) and offering their comments.
		Yet one continues to hear, in the world of popular science, commentaries about the origins of man. Fortunately, there are few such lapses into political correctness in the new translation.
		Here the present English version is almost unrecognizable when set against the Latin edition or even the new draft translation, which follows the Latin text closely and restores a much-needed sense of the sacred.

		There was a corresponding Euro-skeptic viewpointâ”expressed by people such as Sir Francis Drakeâ”which held that the English should stay true to their traditions, populate North America with small numbers of freehold settlers, and actually try to stimulate slave and Indian rebellions against the Spanish empire to bring it down.
		We can no longer define the larger culture of the English-speaking world by religion, however, because the Anglosphere has too many different religions and a substantial segment of people, especially in the intellectual sphere, who are not religious at all.

		He answered, "The fact that the North Americans speak English." In retrospect, he was spot on the mark about the political and economic developments of the twentieth century, and up to now he seems to have been prescient about the development of the technologies that will shape the next one.
		The overall proportion of English may have diminished since then--a 1999 survey of several hundred million pages done at ExciteHome showed English with 72 percent, followed by Japanese with 7 percent and German with 5 percent, and then by French, Chinese, and Spanish, all with between 1 and 2 percent.
		In our study, Schütze and I found that the proportion of English tends to be highest where the local language has a relatively small number of speakers and where competence in English is high.

	Valéry and the English-speaking world (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		In terms of literature and the arts, the list is no less extensive, ranging from his meetings in London and the bustling artistic salons of Paris with Beardsley and Whistler, to his association with Meredith, and later with Joyce and Eliot.
		His familiarity with English and American literature was extensive, from Shakespeare and Defoe to Poe, Dickens, Stephen Crane, Hopkins, Kipling, Conrad, Wells, Huxley and many others; we see too the interest in Whitney in the field of linguistics, and a keen delight in the paintings of Turner viewed in the galleries.
		In all these ways, and many more, it becomes abundantly clear that the interplay between Valéry's thought and the whole English-speaking world is a source of constant enrichment to the thinking and the writing that are articulated in the Notebooks.

		In spite of conglomerates’ attempts to buy world rights, or at least what are known as ‘world English language’ rights, most books are still sold to different publishers in the US and the UK, sometimes with a separate publisher in Australia as well.

		The actual use of a formal literary education is that it prepares you to apply for a position as an English teacher in a four-year college or university, a two-year college, or rarely, a high school.
		And the English department—bless its capacious heart—was everything, representing all sides, seeing all positions and the connections among positions, lending equal numbers of leaders and hermits to the revolution.
