Subj: The tyranny of English
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 1997 07:05:41 -0500

Someone suggested that e-mail messages in "foreign languages" (languages
other than English) have no place online. Let us remember that the Internet
is international and that not everything revolves around the English
language. I belong to a polyglot listserv that functions quite well, with
posts in French and German as well as English. Not everyone understands
everything, but not everyone understands the technical discussions about
physics or the mechanics of instrument repair either.
