But I also get the "uncomfortable imperial" point
17:01 - mz@corrupt : yeah I agree with that . I think at least in richer countries everyone should learn one "universal" language
17:01 - RaduPI'd still prefer English to be the lingua franca for two reasons: plenty of exposure opportunities because it's everywhere; non-gendered so you don't have to play mind games about whether a book is m, f, or neutral
16:59 - corruptEnglish has an uncomfortable imperialist and colonial connotation in many cultures, making it probably not the best choice, globally.
16:58 - RaduPAs long as it's not French, I can understand
16:58 - corruptBe that English, Spanish, or Mandarin.
16:57 - corruptI tend to agree. But there's a lot of cultural identity and works connected to languages. I guess the best way would be for everybody in the world to just learn "that one language" as their first foreign language.
