I should have edited my last post, but I'm sure those of you who are into grammatical correctness will forgive me for any errors you find in it.
It is estimated that there are 450 million Spanish speakers worldwide and growing. Not sure how this compares to English.

Thanks for that wicked messenger. Am I allowed to reveal your identity? Estimating numbers of speakers is not a precise science, but according to El Comercio here in Lima, the number is 450 million, www.elcomercio.pe and according to wikipedia, who know about such things the number is 452,599,636 and if they count me thats one more. How they can be quite so precise is a mystery. And it goes up to over 500 million if we include those who speak it as a second language. Or so they say. Soon some US states will have Spanish speaking majorities. So better start learning to keep that one step ahead as it were. In Peru only 86.6 % of population are native Spanish speakers. The rest must speak Quechua.
