Read paragraph 2: Under other circumstances, I would have taken the subway. Even though everyone knows that the subway will be the first target for terrorists, it's still safer than taking a cab. But I'd been shopping at Balducci's, my favourite New York deli, and was loath to manoeuvre my bags into the crowded, subterranean world where the sun never shone.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.
