ANGLIC
UHE world is to be confronted with another “language.” The inventor of this new language is a Swede, who points out that nobody will trouble to learn the languages of the smaller nations and so their businessmen must learn foreign languages. But why not have a common language and why not let it be English. English has the easiest grammar, but al aS it presents many difficulties in regard to spelling. Simplify the spelling in the interests of the foreigner is the new proposal. This simplified spelling is introduced under the name of Anglic. Naturally the English, a supposedly conservative race, prefer their English pure and as unadulterated as possible and are not inclined to take the foreigners’ viewpoint. Nevertheless that viewpoint might be worthy of more consideration.
