For the first time I laughed at what I wrote.
When different people meet a different culture there's friction, intermingling, admixture, fusion and heading for another culture that is different from the previous one. No one can stop this movement. Since the Internet was in our daily use this inevitable trend has already started.
On the other hands, exclusion is not a solution. For example, English contains 40% Greek, 30% Latin, 20% others. The words originally spoken in ancient England is merely 10%. In our national language too, 70% Chinese, 10% English, 10% others. Only 10% is thought to be spoken in original Japan.
Thus language repeats its irreversable expansion and starts being called universal language everyone can understand.
Some countries that don't like to be invaded by other languages sometimes regulate the use of other languages -especially in vocabulary. This only invites a lack of proper expression within their own languages, this is the beginning of the end of the civilisation, sadly I should say.
That being said, this site is relatively small community who loves technology, I will be careful not to bother anyone here.--
