Elijah Wright asks for citations regarding the dominance of English 
on the internet.

http://www.glreach.com/globstats/index.php3 has great stats on online

They have English at about 35% of online language at this point (no 
longer a majority, but still a plurality).

They've been tracking this info since 1995 and have summaries of the 
growth of Non-English languages here:
