There is "an immense amount to do" I agree.

First thing is kick your sorry, fat, flabby, spineless ass into a pulp.

"Clarke prefers to communicate by semaphorically wiggling his mouselike ears."

Doesn't everybody do it that way?

I'm afraid the Brits have fallen under the influence of the "Dark Side of the Force". Sad.

In the name of political correctness, all international air traffic control must immediately be conducted in Arabic. Or Cantonese. Or Swahili. Anything but English - that's the "oppressor language"! Idiots....

I think someone forgot to share this tidbit of info (about English being the dominant world language to be) with 21 million illegal immigrants and educators in the USA.

In the US, its about to become spanish of many different dialects.

The idiot is just looking for a language that doesn't have a word for 'moonbat' or 'dipshit'.

There is one 'sign language' word common to all languages. He probably see's it alot.

And while I'm at it - the freaking stupid moonbats SCREAM for one cozy little homosexual world with no borders, no barriers, no discrimination, no color, no children, no social classes...

And this particular dipshit want's do it with 270 different languages.

This represents typical liberal intelligence at its... most typical.

Jimbo/Oiao,

You are my bitch. I thought you believed in dont ask don't tell?

Then quit telling everyone you are my bitch.

Oiao -
I just took a dump - did you hear that turd hit the water?

Ooooo - smells bad, huh?

Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my!

Guess there's always Esparanto...

Or Latin. Latin has always made more sense than English.

Jimbo/Oiao, explain why you can call me an ape? And dont say get over it, man up.

Burnning Hot please step up, you seem a good at this.

The microphone is appropriately placed--he is a clown.

"Multi-culturalism" is, and always has been, a code word for hatred of Western Civilization.

"I just took a dump - did you hear that turd hit the water?"

Actually, I think you may have just gave birth... to a moonbat. Congratualtions. They say "water birth" is simply amazing!

Yeah, Mr. Clarke, linguistic Balkanization has done wonders for the world hasn't it?

As one of his many acts of foresight, Benjamin Franklin developed the Philadelphia Academy in 1751, emphasizing English as a cohesive force. He understood that legions of future immigrants, bringing their own languages, would inevitably create small, separate countries within a country, and America would end up being like Europe.

The result is a land mass over 3,200 miles across, roughly the distance from London, England to Kabul, Afghanistan, wherein everyone speaks the same language and can communicate with each other. Internal trade and commerce have flourished, largely because of it. English is now the language of international trade, which is why that third of the planet is learning, as fast as they can go. They realize, correctly, that it's in their best commercial interest to be able to communicate on a global basis.

It is also why the PC push to teach bilingually in American schools is selling those children down the river.

Learning other languages is good for the brain and adds such variety to life. I plan to learn Italian, before I croak. That said, we are all damn lucky we speak English. It is a hard language to learn, and it is the language of international commerce, which is of course the real reason the UK "Education Secretary" hates it. Business will and always does prevail.

Interestingly, the French are not imbued with the same language self hatred. Remember the French official (I've lost his name) who, when asked why he refused to give press conferences in English, even though he spoke it and half the journos in attendance couldn't understand French, replied, "Because French is the language of diplomacy", then added under his breath, "and civilization."

lingua franca? What the hell does that mean? Why don't you speak english?

Maybe the BBC should stop broadcasting in English so as to encourage people to explore other linguistic options. If they are not part of the solution they are part of the problem.
