Nonetheless I don't think English can function as an universal language because it is specialized in some regards. It is better for thinking about and capturing some things and ideas, but not for everything. Other languages, it seems to me, are optimized better for certain use cases. Curious as to what you had in mind (assuming it was broader than Eskimos and snow!)?
