Would you be able to participate in this newsgroup if it were in
anything other than english?

Wherever people from all over the world communicate in a written
language, it obviously makes little sense if everybody speaks in
his/her native tongue. English has become the common denominator
because of its extremely simple structure and grammatics, which
makes it rather easy to learn; apart from some historical reasons.

That doesn't mean that everyone everywhere is keen on adopting
english as primary language; for most it is no more than *one*
option. A useful one, no doubt, because this is the only way I
can communicate with my colleagues in India, China or the US.

Cheers, jsaul
