We have long known that the most widely spoken language
is Broken English. "Globish" may be a recent invention,
but there are many other "approaches" that should be studied
before giving precedence to Globbish, such as core literacy,
Dorch lists, J. Jenkins's EIL (Eng as Internat Lang), etc.

This is really the old chestnut of what we are aiming for in
teaching english to non-native speakers. Thanks to Steve
for raising this issue in such a pointed manner.
