That’s at all, there are only ~380 million native English speakers.
Of that 1/3 (of the global population) a significant percentage have extremely limited skills, though the threshold is above knowing a few random words.

wikipedia. You are a bit off...
As for native you have US+UK+Canada+Australia+NZ+Ireland. So more then your 380M.
~47 million Americans aren’t native English speakers having immigrated from a non English speaking country.
Who cares if they're native English speakers or not, as long as they can converse in the language?
