It is true, but any language as lingua franca would have the same problem, even a completely new constructed one. I worked in an International Organization, where most people had English as second language, people from 42 countries or so, oh boy, what a quicksand of misunderstandings …
But I also made the experience that native speakers were quite inconsiderate of the second language speakers. They just used their native irony or figures of speech or even their local dialect, and didn’t notice that not everybody understood what they were on about. We others just had to adapt.
The funniest thing was an English lady living here in Denmark who had lodgers. She seriously said that she was the only English person in the house, everybody else were foreigners … 😉
