Yeah my friends manager in Taiwan thinks he knows English. I've talked to him somehow on MSN he says sentences like "Manager I am" but he's completely clueless apparently in Mandarin he boasts about how good his English is. lol
Oh forgot "European" as a language. An ex friend said when I'd spell a word 'colour' or 'neighbourhood' or 'whilst'. You know traitor language that's NOT AMERICAN, MUST SPEAK AMERICAN. As he'd tell me. lol
I know the language of Epic. One of my best friends always goes "Too profound SD, keep it simple" lol

Speaking of language, I heard on tele yesterday that the French language is merging with English. And they were going to change the dictionary or something like that.
For example, instead of saying autocollant, the French can say sticker.
Did you hear about this too, Michel?

Indeed he bosses 20 somethings around, pisses my friend off. I tried talking to him a couple days ago about the typhoon that went through Taiwan. He said "?" I had to go "storm, big, storm, rain, flooding, 19 people dead, Taiwan".

No, but English is so predominant in the World now that it infiltrate every language. Funny thing is that the English words penetrating the daily usage in Québec are not the same in France.
I think your news is more sensationalist than based on facts. We hear stuff like that every once in a while.

Well it's more the fact that the English Empire and then US imperialism have dominate the world for more than a century now PLUS the fact that English is extremely easy to understand and modify compared to other languages that explain the predominance of English today. Although linguists are more talking about Globish now since there are more "English" words existing now and being created by locutors of another language in "English" than from UK.

La gomme à mâcher deux oeufs avec roties le disque compact nous réparons les crevaisons is the way any MINIMALY educated person will express the same thing by writing, and any educated person will try to express these concepts orally too. |
