Gelukkig gaan cultuurbarbaren niet over onze talen. Nedersaksisch is historisch een veel grotere taal dan Nederduits, langer ook (1150-nu). #linguafranca

On the subject of the Mecha linguafranca, this is in part what I'm writing my piloting manual to be a dictionary for.

Y'know, if I ever complete it.

I wonder about teams like #Belgium and #Switzerland, countries that have multiple #languages, I wonder what #language they use? Wonder if they use #English as a #linguafranca?

Board games are often seen as a way to bring people together. They are like a shared language that sometimes conveys more than words ever can.

Sadly, my idea of escapism is reading about ‘90s academic beefs.

Aside of the creative freedom English gives artists in terms of how English is structured, the use of #LinguaFranca to pander to a greater audience is smart from a business standpoint.

Opiskelin kuusi vuotta saksaa koulussa mutten osaa kommunikoida yhdenkään saksalaisen kanssa.

Sama juttu ruotsin kanssa; Osaan laulaa Sommaren är Kort mutta jos vastaan tulee muu kuin finlandssvensk niin olen pihalla kuin lumiukko. Ja kirjoitin ällän ruotsista...

According to LinguaFranca (archival link below), the phrase, "bad actor," which literally just means a person who acts badly, has been in the American lexicon longer than we've been alive. Your inability to extricate the phrase from a theater setting isn't the phrase's fault.
