Language Is An Anonymous, Collective And Unconscious

National Languages Are All Huge Systems Of Vested Interests Which Sullenly Resist Critical Inquiry.

Were A Language Ever Completely "grammatical" It Would Be A Perfect Engine Of Conceptual Expression. Unfortunately, Or Luckily, No Language Is Tyrannically Consistent. All Grammars Leak.

A Common Allegiance To Form Of Expression That Is Identified With No Single National Unit Is Likely To Prove One Of The Most Potent Symbols Of The Freedom Of The Human Spirit That The World Has Yet Known.

It Would, Of Course, Be Hopeless To Attempt To Crowd Into An International Language All Those Local Overtones Of Meaning Which Are So Dear To The Heart Of The Nationalist.

Impatience Translates Itself Into A Desire To Have Something Immediate Done About It All, And, As Is Generally The Case With Impatience, Resolves Itself In The Easiest Way That Lies Ready To Hand.
