- <1993Jan25.051551.4563@jussieu.fr> Journee d'etude sur les explications, raises
- an interesting issue regarding the use of the world-wide internet. Obviously,
- this message is intended for French speaking/reading community only but we
- all get a glimpse at it and most of us can't make head nor tail of it. Even
- though I may not be able to respond to this article I might still be
- interested in understanding it if only to find out what Patrick is up to. If
- we all decide to submit articles in our native tongue then surely the
- usefulness of the internet breaks down, we lose a great facility for
- communicating with the international community. If there is a requirement for
- native language submissions, then why not do so in a 'native language' only
- newsgroup? I understand that not everybody likes English as the
- 'international' language, personally I would prefer it were Strine. However,
- we have to have one, and English is the incumbent.

- PS for those non-Australians, Strine is one of the 'languages' of Australia,
- an abortion of English where all words are reduced to their least number of
- phonetic characters able to convet meaning and all words are run in together.
- For example 'avagoodweekend'.
