    It was obviously about the knowledge that OP was specifically seeking. OP is communicating in English because the knowledge that OP wants is in English. OP could ask for that knowledge in their native language instead, but the knowledge that they specifically want is in English, so it wouldn’t help them any.

      I disagree. The reason OP asks in English is because the person with the knowledge is only able communicate and transmit that knowledge in English. Knowledge itself has is it restricted to languages. A multi lingual person can express the same fact in several different languages
