More proof the world should only speak one language

[Críostóir]

English is already the universal language dummies.
It's just annoying that people still hold on to their native language too.

LMAO Hey now!

You're undoubtably correct. Time will prove it so.

English is the universal language--except in the US, where signs on public transport are in at least 4 languages here.

Oh, the irony.

And the problem with perfect, synthesized languages is that in time, like all languages, they mutate, and soon enough they will no longer be perfect.

It's pointless..

I am visiting Bosnia soon. . . .

Double-check your itinerary to ensure there won't be any visiting archdukes in the vicinity. You know what happened the last time.

Long Live Prescriptive Linguistics!

I'd propose and even offer a small dowry but for your slavish enthusiasm for the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

And, of course, the state of your domesticity.

This is a country of immigrants. It's a nice thing to translate shit into people's native languages...but it's mostly Spanish anyways that you see next to English....obviously because Hispanics are the largest immigrant group. But Spanish is not even close to being equal to English. If you don't speak English you can't really do anything except low paying jobs. Even then you have to know some English.
