Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 15:40:20 +0000 (GMT) From: Karl Maton <kam13-AT-hermes.cam.ac.uk> Subject: Re: plurilinguism As someone is only half-bilingual (ha ha), I find this argument puerile and sterile. If people wish to post messages in Swahili or Arabic or Gaelic or Esperanto, then they are free to do so. They may just find they don't get much of a reply. A practical observation is that English seems to be the main language being used. If people wish to speak to most of the list then they would perhaps be best served to post in English. But they remain free to write in any language they want to if they so choose.
