Re: [xmca] On being silent at XMCA

Dear all,
rather than thinking of English as the language of hegemony and
cultural oppression, think of it as lingua franca, there is no other
spoken as widely---Esperanto never has had wide impact.

Then think of English as a MANY rather than as a one, and in this
move to thinking of speaking Sabir, one of those merchant languages
that mixes languages for the purposes at hand, shifting heterogeneity
to an unfamiliar level, but doing nothing other than what happens at
the heart of English---or French, Spanish, German, Russian.....

Language and culture are mêlées, so don't worry about formalists and
grammarians...

Cheers,
Michael

Dear All,

I feel the same than Nacho!.
It is hard to deal with language and also with complex content.
Anyway, english language is the way to be connected and expand our
knowledge
in this community.
I want to thanks every thinker of this continuous conversation.
