Hi, To reinforce the shrinking size of the world that came from someone I know in your hometown at FSG.
As regards the English-German Euro plan, you guys are behind the times. We here in South Florida, with large blocs of both Spanish and English-speaking peoples, developed a happy medium decades ago. 'Spanglish' is widely accepted and has been since at least when I arrived in Miami over thirty years ago. There are even some regional variances, such as the Southern touch in "Como esta, y'all?" and "Tu quieres la chicken-fried steak?" All accomplished, I might add, sans any mandate from the state. A lesser known development I have recently noted is the advent of a commonality between the Mandarin-speaking and US citizens known as 'Chinglish'.
Back in the days of the Italian emegration it was called "pidgeon english" which to me always sounded a bit demeaning. It's good to see folks enjoying the humor in it instead. It's a sign of acceptance. When I moved to south Florida I thought I'd have to learn spanish, but found when I landed in Ft. Lauderdale it was German I had to learn instead. Fortunately for this language challenged man, most Germans learn english from a very young age. It's a lucky person who grows up in a 2 language home. If I ever went to a country with a foreign language such a NZ, I probably starve to death and would have to use a back alley for my WC.
Pidgin is a "trade language" used as a means to communicate between people with no common language . Nothing demeaning about that. Pigeons only make cooing noises that sound nothing like a frustrated Italian.
Here I've once again learned something new at YF. Thank you Marmot. I always thought it related to their love of homing pidgeons.
Haha the thread is a bit old but I guess you meant something like this! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200737467587563&set=vb.126696876138&type=2&theate
