You seem to have little estimation for Europe, and you are right
inasfar as we are following double standards: wealth and security
and freedom for us, nice words of peace and justice for others,
and may the Americans protect us forever. On the other hand, Yoorp
has contributed a lot to America, and still many bright young people
leave our continent for yours. If you don't like us, you are entitled
to that, and you may despise our "langwidges" as well, however, then
you should be more consequent. How about returning the Statue of
Liberty, for it was a French present to the USA? and how about
replacing the French root "langue" in language with English tongue?
So please don't say language anymore, and stop posting to sci.lang.
Use tonguage from now on, and post to a new group by the name of
sci.tong, easily to be founded via Google.
