That's a bullshit idea, the moment something becomes uniform creativity goes out the door. Fuck one language let's have everyone learn as many languages as possible.
I think you should have to think you should have paid more attention to a foreign language. do you realize other nations youths speak two or three languages fluently. If we learned other languages think about what we could learn and would learn from other countries and literature. this is why america is a stagnant pool with smelly water. Cause nobody wants to learn other languages.
I won't slam you because self-admitted ignorance should not be punishable.
You do know that English is considered to be a very difficult language to learn, correct? So could you have ever considered the fact that maybe these people are trying to learn english but just haven't been able to?
Not only that but as the person above me said people in other places are able to speak 2-3 languages. If you learn other languages you can communicate with people from other places instead of being treated like a stupid tourist as you said you could actually learn something because trust me taking a tour designed by a company and actually going out and experiencing a country on your won are very different. Learning a second language is not a bad thing for life in general but rather a very good one.
Ignorance sucks but so too does faulty memory (please excuse any/all spelling errors)psiristaDecember 13 2006, 23:15:15 UTC
More ignorance to follow in this response to the two/three above, most likely due to head trauma received as a child which prevents me from remembering things

English is quite messed up to to several influences, the language was first a germanic language, but then Rome come along and established a foothold there for many years introducing Latin words and influences, later after the fall of Rome the first major power in europe (not counting the Vikings) was the french who became the influecing factor in most of the noblity. This resulted in the English nobles speaking french and the common folk speaking a form of old/middle english. I cant remember the king who started this but some brittish king got sick of this and unified the 2 languages into a common english. thus results one of the most comlicated gramitical language of them all
