Another WTF? Moment

Um, so someone writes a "news" story claiming that 1/3 of the French don't speak English.

They would be French. Oddly enough, they have a language of their very own. To paraphrase Steve Martin, they have a different word for almost everything.....

This is news? I'm guess that a much higher percentage of English speakers don't speak French...... Frankly, I would have turned this around and reported that almost 2/3 of the French speak at least some English. That's actually a remarkable statistic.
