This article looks at how mother-tongue English speakers and those who do not have English as a mother tongue discuss the complex questions that swirl around the global hegemony of English when given an opportunity to discuss these directly with one another. The article does so via an analysis of a series of online exchanges about English's global rise among American, Australian, and Slovenian university students. The analysis reveals that English's global expansion can look and feel quite different, and in fact is quite different, to different social actors, all of them situated differently vis-à-vis this social phenomenon along a variety of different social, cultural, national and, most notably, linguistic axes
