<div>Dear Fritz,</div> <div> I think the song in question mentions how brave and honest and intelligent and honourable we English are - while underlining that our most typical trait is that most English of virtues - MODESTY.</div> <div> </div> <div> The point I wanted to make is that this soccer/football debate is about how language community B gets language community A speakers to refer to the achievements of A in the language of community B. The next step is for B speakers to use A language instead of their own language in certain situations - (See the Jaques Tati film The Holiday of M. Hulot(?))<BR><BR><B><I>Fritz Goerling <Fritz_Goerling@sil.org></I></B> escribió:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV id=ygrp-text> <div> <DIV class=Section1> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Sure, John, reminds me of the comic song with the refrain <O></O></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">“</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">The English the English the English are best <BR>I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest.”<O></O></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><O></O></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Well, if <ST1><ST1>England</ST1></ST1> is the mother
