No Globlish, ONLY Esperanto
At times, when there is no idea what to write or nag, it is good to pop in the forum, of course, the good forum pages like lernu.net.
I just love this idea too.
This whole business of giving Esperanto a new public image is to my mind a matter of great urgency.
For a start perhaps we could organise a concerted attack on 'Globish' (international English as it is actually spoken).
I, for one, am fed up with hearing the ugly vowels, jarring consonants, and primitive grammar of our evergrowing immigrant population here in the UK.
And hardly a televison or radio bulletin passes without some interview with an Eksterlandano whose command of English is sorrowful.
Forget about the classic English virtues of tolerance and fairmindedness. It's time to start taking the piss - or to establish a tradition of correcting every mispronunciation, misuse of vocabulary and mangling of grammar, every time we encounter it.
Speak English or Esperanto, not Globish, should be the battle cry.

I also why the English community would like to accept the bastarlised language called Globlish as more or less equal to English. Perhaps, the decline of English made them think of to maintain the Lish suffix or the few words in English.
