I imagine the growth patterns of the English language as the same of the popular 1950's horror film The Blob starring Steve McQueen.
For those who don't know their movie history The Blob is a organism that lives to destroy, it starts of very small but with every victim it grows in size. English is doing a strangely similar if not the exact same thing Eg: English started in england as the primary language of the people but not of anyone with power, then it over threw the crown and took control.
The Blob crawls through a town digests everything then keeps on crawling looking for its next meal. English does the same thing, Once it had made a strong foothold in England it boarded boats and went traveling spreading the toxic disease where ever it went. It soon occupied places like : America, india, canada and Australia.
It was from these places that it spread even further with English movies spreading the Language right around the globe making English more powerful then any language before in history.......
But it is not just one dialect of the language each country that use's this language has its own different pronounciation and vocabulary some examples of this are : Franglish ( France ), Chinglish ( china ), Spanglish ( spain ).
So i don't think that like in the movie it is a completely evil thing, i think it is a Kind Blob. How else would we help old ladies cross the road safely if there wasn't road safety signs in English. How would doctors keep patients alive if there wasn't medication written in English.
So my point too you is.... Do we need too fight this All controlling creature if it is helping us live easier safer lives, or does it have furter plans for the human race ?.....
Peace and love- Fuz
