You’ve posted very interesting thoughts. I have translating experience and am keenly aware of communication difficulties. Also—since you mentioned China—I have a number of Chinese friends and often see how difficult English can be for them . . . and for Russian speakers, too . . . and German speakers . . . and . . . (big smile). So I am receptive to the idea of an international language.

I enjoyed reading your article! Thanks so much. I’ll be posting quotes (which are another kind of international connector) about once a week. If you have a minute, please drop by.
