The amount of things wrong is impressive
You're confusing Europe and the EU
You're forgetting about Ireland and Malta
You're thinking that because the UK left the EU it will change the main language countries use to speak to each others
- aleph_minus_one 9mo ago> You're forgetting about Ireland and Malta In both countries English is only one of the official languages.
- nolok 9mo agoAnd how does that change anything to what is being said ? English is only one of the official languages of the UN or NATO or the WHO or ...
- ben_w 9mo agoMae hyn yn wir o fewn y DU hefyd. :P
- anigbrowl 9mo agoHardly anyone uses Irish in daily life or for official purposes, notwithstanding its official status. 99% of the Irish you hear outside a classroom is performative.
- drnick1 9mo ago> You're thinking that because the UK left the EU it will change the main language countries use to speak to each others Yes, and that's precisely the irony. Europeans still need to subject themselves to Anglo "cultural imperialism" or absolutely nothing works, starting with communication across national borders.
- schubidubiduba 9mo agoThe english language has ceased to be something unique to the anglocultural world a while ago. You're making this out to be much more than it is
- timeon 9mo agoWe actually already use Globish that has different idioms and so on. End we can express different kind of informations there.
- throw__away7391 9mo agoAnd the US still uses Arabic numerals in spite of banning visas for basically every Arab country in the world.
- palata 9mo ago> Europeans still need to subject themselves to Anglo "cultural imperialism" or absolutely nothing works, starting with communication across national borders. Do you have a single clue about Europe? That's not true at all.
- microtonal 9mo agoFirst, we co-opted English. It’s now ours as well. Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English Besides that, besides my native language and English, I had German and French in school (which are required topics in our country). So I can speak the native language of all nearby countries. Auf Wiedersehen!
- drnick1 9mo agoI would hesitate to even call that English: "Many of the features suggested to be characteristic of Euro-English could be identified as learners' mistakes." In short, it's just like Chinglish.
