About 48% of the current world' population is using the Internet (ITU), and English has become the de facto 'mother-tongue' of Internet. However, from the current total world population of ~7.5 Billion people, only 1.5 Billion speak / write good English. That is because, from a total of 195 Countries in the world, 67 nations have English as their primary language of 'official status', and in 27 more Countries English is used as a secondary 'official language'. There are still ~100+ Countries that don't use English as their primary / secondary language. A huge gap exists in the number of contemporary internet users vis-a-vis their ability to express themselves using the mother-tongue of Internet i.e. English while communicating.

A 'thought' in human mind is processed in the form of an 'image', and human brain processes ~700 thoughts / images per minute. It is often difficult to translate these images into meaningful "Xpressions" which are a primary cause behind communication gaps; this only gets further compounded by distance & lack of in-person communication between individuals.
