    It seems strange that only a thousand years ago, the English language was only just starting out in the form we recognise today.

    Now though, it is the language of international business and spoken by thousands of millions of people all over the world.

    Of course, there are many different versions of English, hopefully during this thread we will discover everyone's favourite :)

    All hail the English language!

    I must admit I find it baffling when it concerns lonely people like Toby or the 46th homozone.

    Spending time with their bitter and hateful vitriol, yet never realising the ultimate irony of their repetitive comments :)

    God bless you Toby et al.

    Isn't Chinese (or mandarin) the most spoken language in the world?

    Whatever happened to Esperanto?

    Wonder what Esperanto is for soup?
