Thousands of eurpoean and asian students come to my country every year to learn english (and fornicate and get drunk....) and the number is steadily rising every year. To me english is the 'planar trade' of our world. To put it in D&D terms, traders, merchants, kings and rulers all speak english so to me that make it the common of our world, even though chinese or cantonese (or something like that, im not quite sure) has more speakers in the world.Also, whatever happened to esperanto? i remember there was this big fuss about it when it appeared then it just disappeared... though i always found the idea stupid. Languages just happen, they cant be 'forced' like that imho</blockquote>
