The official language of international commerce is broken English

[–] archchan@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A unifed global language is one of the characteristics of a type 1 civilization and right now English happens to be in a position to become that language. But whether or not English is the optimal option is a whole different can of worms. Since language and culture are so intertwined, the idea of the cultures, beliefs, and "mindsets" of entire groups of people being slowly erased, dominated, and assimilated by the anglosphere mind is a concerning long term problem. You lose out on potentially beautiful things only people of that culture and "mind" are capable of creating/conceiving or nurturing. Also America's dominance of cultural exports is insane.

English is a shit laguage but all the computers are programmed in it so fuck it we ball

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Computers are programmed in programming languages. They do (most of the time) have English words as keywords, but changing them is trivially easy. You could have a "Esperanto C" working in a day. And changing a C program to Esperanto C would be trivially easy. The only problem would be the new keywords being used in the old program, but that's easy to find and replace with a new identifier.
