The Lost Art Of Writing

.. would have spoken ..

 

You see, there's my pidgin English :roflmho:.

 

There's one thing I am concerned about, it came to my mind while reading my former post again. My thinking was still "switched" to German while writing the former post, hence the strange mistakes. Our language, and especially the subtelties (or better the lack of knowing them), are limiting our inner world and the ability to tell people what we are thinking.

 

Sure, not everybody can be a highly educated person, but we need to make sure that a language doesn't lose it's subtelties. This is the real problem, because nobody would be able to think about the subtle destinctions anymore. Latin, like ancient Greek before, served as a buffer, for a pretty long time, but this buffer is vanishing quickly now.
