COMMENTARY

Michael (Australia) 2nd June 2006	Hmm, there's a lot of people who know how to speak English in Serbia. If i could add an estimated % it would be atleast 5-10/100
Daniel (UK) 13th August 2007	I query the qualification for this question as the result for Ireland makes no sense to me at all, and the figures for the Virgin Islands and Barbados seem a bit low too.
Linn (US) 27th November 2007	Yes, I doubt the figures greatly. Only half of Canada speaks English? No way. The only way I can see these numbers making sense is if they're for the number of ~native~ English speakers, in which case that fact should be noted.
