[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;26856854]China has the longest continuous culture in the world. Most Chinese people don't want other cultures interfering with theirs. This isn't as bad as some people make it seem.[/QUOTE]
I, too, defend this obvious attempt on policing free thought because being against would make me look pro-Western.
I speak both, German is my mother language. So I can't tell you if it is hard. But I am learning Russian for 5 months now, the only hard thing is the alphabet which isn't that hard, only confusing( the written form is.)

[QUOTE=bugfix;26852427]We should introduce something like this in Germany. More and more German words are replaced by English ones and some of them are just ridiculous. I mean "Handy" is the German word for cell phone now and a "body bag" is a neck pouch...[/QUOTE]
did you know in England, skeen means okay, Lonng means bad, and RA can mean literally anything. These words meant literally nothing to me two years ago. Shit moves with the times.
I don't see anything wrong with English.
[QUOTE=cheesedelux;26853122]Anything but.
And Esperanto was just meant as a fictional foreign language for training soldiers to recognise certain meanings of what the enemy was shouting at each other used in War Games and stuff. I think?[/QUOTE]
Esperanto was developed in the late 19th century, but the US Army did use the language as part of its Opposing Force maneuver training program in the late 1940s and 1950s to simulate a Spanish facist state (Circle Trigon Party and the country of Aggressor) from 1945-1951 and an enemy that fought under Soviet doctrine after the Korean War. I think that in the 1980s they moved a more Soviet enemy under the Red Thrust program.

Writing like this makes you look all cool and edgy for thinking I was trying to be cool and edgy.
lolwut. Since when was English "easy to learn". The bloody language basically has no pronunciation rules at all. You just memorize how to say words. Especially that dumbass word "colonel". Fuck I hate that word.
What about English-language newspapers and shtuff?
The Beijing government has also been active in trying to suppress local languages like Cantonese in favor of Mandarin in places like Guangdong. It's like the Soviet Union's Russification all over again.
English! English! English!
English has survived so long because it's a scrappy, highly adaptable language.
Don't have a word for something but another language does? Just use the foreign word, it's that simple!
I believe the Chinese are doing a good thing, they could strengthen their language so it becomes more influential, i wish people in my country would do this, most of the young adults in my country have such weak Arabic that they replace the words they Dont know in Arabic with English words, sometimes entire sentences are in English.

I've never seen any good arguments for the "simplicity" or easiness of English. You can't avoid being saturated by it in a western country these days, which means that you'd be pretty stupid not to learn it even inadvertently. Its omnipresence and necessity mean that people will learn it, contrary to other languages they may study but which are neither deemed necessary nor as commonly used apart from their native countries - which of course creates the illusion that the language is easy to learn compared to others. It's not; you're simply more motivated to learn it and indefinitely better exposed to it.
I dropped apple pie on myself laughing at the word "Chinglish"
What english doesn't have is a plural version of "you". If you are referring to a group, you say "you", same if you refer to one person, which causes confusion. Other languages I know all have a plural version of "you".

I don't think it is, BmB has proven to be stupid in many other posts.
Yeah, fuck globalization. It's not like adapting parts of other languages into your own for the sake of efficiency is a good thing or anything like that. :downs:
guess they're sick of getting embarassed by hilarious engrish web pages
We should all be speaking Esperanto anyways.
