alt Hacker News> Maybe the UK and Spain have somewhat similar struggles, but I suspect that none has it as bad as Portugal in that regard.
There are ~26x more Portuguese speakers worldwide than in Portugal. Only 13x more Spanish speakers worldwide than in Spain. Depending on how you count (English is really widespread as a native-but-second language), there are about 20x more English speakers worldwide than in the UK.
So yes, Portugal has it pretty bad by the numbers.
I guess Americanisms bleeding over into English LLMs as used in Britain happens similarly.
Should we also be expecting to see bleed-over of Indian English into generic English LLMs? Or is it not relatively large enough compared to America to force it, unlike Brazil to Portugal?
