English is definitely the easiest language.  I'm surprised that this
isn't obvious to everyone; it's simply incontestable that English is
the only language which is perfectly suited to typewriter keyboards.

As for spoken language, it has been proven that English is the easiest
language because all other languages are derived from it.  This was
demonstrated in the '60s by Noam Chomsky and the MIT group of linguists.

And if that isn't enough, LADs come with English instructions,
