USA 321
UK (Duh) 65
Canada 36
Australia 24
Ireland 5
New Zelend 5

That’s 912 Million. Now you can make as many dumb joke about immigrants both legal and illegal not speaking English, but you can add 5 million Native English speakers in South Africa as well.

Um, what adds up to 912 million? The numbers above add up to 461 million. Also, don't forget that a good part of Canada is native French speaking.
