RE: The Dictionary
That is not the reason. "we" voted for a world language and that is why English is spoken.
The influence would be a good reason to avoid knkwing the language. It would make the world more peaceful.
If it comes to films and so on most countries do not show it in English at all but their own language (not very helpful if you want to learn a language).

It may be that English at least as it spoken in the US has been influenced by the "melting pot" in the US. People coming from everywhere else bringing words with them over the few hundred years has become part of the vocabulary.
Looking at a dictionary we can see the roots of the words are traced out to many different sources.
US English and British English are a little different. Even the spellings vary. Similar enough to get by without a translator though.
