Pressing 1 for English is serious business.

I think French is better than Spanish, but I've said that enough as is. I've heard a lot of people say the whole world should speak English and only English. I find it foolish and sad because these people don't care how language is apart of cultural identity or anything of that sort.

English is the hardest language to work and adapt, has the most rules and is the most complex... apparently. Though, there will NEVER be a universal language, anytime soon atleast, maybe a few thousand years from now we may see some sort of unity in language, but anytime soon not a chance.

I would never want a universal language.

I would never want a universal language.

Why?

Just feels like it'd be something to slowly strip us of something...

It would also be a uniting factor for humanity. Personally, I would gladly rid myself of culture for the preservation of humanity.

In FireFly, humanity speaks English and Chinese. Sensible really. English is the language of buisiness in the west, and most far eastern cultures have present or past use of Chinese characters.

I'm a bit torn on this, but I think I'd be for a unifying language. It would be another step closer to the world being, uh, united, to be redundant.

Just imagine what we could accomplish with the whole planet under 1 banner.

What we could accomplish could go both ways. I don't trust mankind, honestly, or have much hope that a lot of good would be accomplished, but I'm skeptical and I've no reason for my skepticism, sadly.

Honestly, a unification of mankind will not happen until we trust each other. That won't happen until after a fair period of goodwill, so I'm thinking that by the time this would truly happen, we'd have moved past the possibility of large-scale failure in regards to human relations.
