Forums - General - The English language is RACIST!!

I hate the fact that i have to talk English when i'm traveling anywhere in the world, i hate the fact that i have to write in English on the internet so people can understand me, I hate the fact that i have to Edit my post a million times to not let it sound gibberish. I hate the fact that the English language is taking over the world. I even got banned ON ANOTHER GAME SITE for talking french with another user WTF!!!

The English language is bullying and racist towards other languages.

                                                    We should create a new worldwide language that is not related to any other country and all people learn it as their 2nd language. Who agrees ?

I'm going to do my best to ignore the fact that your post failed to adequately (dare I say, remotely) explain how any language (though specifically English in this case) is racist.

Wouldn't this new worldwide language impose the same problems that you're currently having? After all, wouldn't you be required to speak this new language around the world so that people could understand you? And wouldn't you still have to edit your post a "million times"? Wouldn't there still be the risk of being banned from sites from speaking French? This solution you propose seems to be a wasteful exercise, optimistically speaking it would probably only amount to being the precursor to another similar rant.

Side note, the French language is somewhat sexist. A group of males is referred to as "ils", and a group of females is referred to as "elles", but a group of females with one male is referred to as "ils". Should people stop speaking French?



There is already this "worldwide" language, but since it has no native speakers nobody really wants to talk it... also one of the advantages is that even if you mess up, you can still be understood, unlike in many other languages, where meaning is completely lost.

I don't like the English language taking over such a huge chunk of life either... but still better than 'stick-up-your-arse' languages such as german... which also gets shoved down our throats like English in Austria...



yeah no I'm not going to learn a new language just so I can communicate with people all around the world, AGAIN!

you would feel the same about any other language if it was used -_-

Actually England created the English language.

And the world wide web.



I think a world language is a great idea and would help the world get along better. It should be English. It's already the international business language. Half way there!



but English is awesome n_n

Racist towards other languages? -___-
