>Alas, it is (currently) an English dominated world.
Mark, et al:
Au contraire, the world is dominating English :{`)
* Only 25% of the English vocabulary comes from the original anglo-saxon.
* The English vocabulary is constantly being expanded with words from
other cultures (eg: "ukulele" is from the native Hawaiian)
From the same PBS show:
* English is the preferred language of the former Soviet Union.
* The English vocabulary has four times as many words as the second
most "verbose" language, French.

Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
