Yeah. I'm sure English will spread more but I think that pretty much every country will keep they're main language the same and just incorpurate English into it. And yes Dumb was a bad word to use, I think slack, or even better Free (meaning make your own rules as long as they understand) would be better. And I think that English being influenced by other languages IS part of the reason for it's spread, a lot of words are easier to pick up (at least for European languages) stem from similar root words or orgins. Andn the past isn't necessarily bad it's just that we've made mistakes along the way and if you don't learn from them, you'll repeat them. I mean no one wants a new Hitler. I think there will always be a group to keep the traditions and culture of each nation alive. I mean here in the US there are groups that reinact civil war things, museum of all sorts are around and with the internet (though they say it might overload soon) I think cultural info will be passed pretty well...I mean we are currently on a website designed to discuss the culture and all of Japan. Oh and does anyone know where I can find stuff on Japanese sign language. I'd love to see the differences as a learning experience
