"Man of Steel" question

How will the makers of "Man of Steel" explain Kryptonians' use of English? Parallel linguistic evolution to match parallel biological and psychological evolution? The odds of such parallelism are so astronomically small as to be impossible, barring a divine miracle. Are Earth and Krypton therefore linked in some divine way? And if Kryptonians speak English, how is it that Superman's "S" isn't really an "S" on Krypton? How does one evolve to speak English while evolving a completely different writing system?
