Stance on universal language - Comments

  • lol Yeah I guess you're right, but the Chinese have that calculator thing, and us Americans call it 'math', and then the different ways of teaching it from country to country tend to vary too. I know from experience that Singapore, Britain, and Australia have similar methods in most schools, but compare that to the American version and it's different. It took me awhile to get used to it.

    For the most part, it's usually the terminology that changes, but that still affects the actual math part of it.

  • The real global language is maths, it's the same in every country.

  • I personally don't really like English. It sounds so harsh compared to other languages, almost barbaric really, and it's so damn confusing.

    I don't like the idea of a global anything. What's the point of having a world to explore if everything is the same from place to place no matter how far from home you travel?

    Learning multiple languages is so much better than having everyone speak the one language. It brings more culture to the world instead of taking it away.
