Ja, laat Engels die tegniese en wetenskaplike taal van die 21ste Eeu wees.

Mark

 But technical and scientific "English" is for the most part Latin and
Greek, and is what has removed English from its roots. To speakers of other
languages who envy English's international status I would say "beware of
what you wish for".

Petrus,

Aangaande my diatribe van vandag (oor die status van Afrikaans) ...

Ek glo ons moet hierdie basiese vraag beantwoord:

Wat het beter oorlewingskanse, 'n dialek of 'n (offisieël herken)
onafhanklik taal?



Moenie vergeet nie: Ek respek jou opinie, maar ek is skepties aangaande sy
uitgangspunt.

Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
