Much of this has been previously mentioned but it might be worth collecting here. A few facts. Grunts speak English. In fact, I have yet to hear their native tongue (assuming there is one). They also warn the rest of their assault groups (e.g. Elites, Hunters, Jackals) in English so presumably the other races can at least understand English. GS343 speaks English and makes several comments about human tendencies and behavior. So there are several questions yet to be answered. Why would the Covies communicate, even at the lowest ranks in English (human speak). If they consider us inferior, why use our "primitive language at all? Second, where and when did they pick it up, and who from? GS343 obviously has seen a few -blam!- sapiens in his....er....its day. So who has he been chatting it up with? Are there any logical explanations for this? Any sensible speculations?
