Hi Lowlanders,
Risking the wrath of many of you,
I would advocate ONE language
as the lingua franca for the EU,
for expediency I would choose
Basic English.
This would STRENGTHEN the
position of the other languaguages,
IN PARTICULAR the so-called
minority languages. It would
avoid such sillinesses as described
in Roger's posting below
