Very interesting. For all of us who do not have English (British or American)as our first language and who are using the net a lot…this gives us something to think about. We also need to let words/expressions etc melt into our own first languages. A language is alive and moving in various directions. It is so interesting to see what we pick up/translate/assimilate/blend from other languages. Interesting also to see what kind of mixtures/assimilations will survive in our own languages and how.
