[lg policy] Another Dana cartoon on the subject of "universal language"

[Harold Schiffman]

Dear Elena,

assumptions about language and language policy, and also full of
contradictions and covert stumbling blocks that are often present
in other language policies, so I'll keep posting them!

Best,

Hal
