I just made a terrible discovery.
The English Foundation.This is a foundation dedicated to US English. I can't tell but I don't think they even invented English, they seem to be co-opting it for their purposes after the fact and I fear it will get worse. One main tactic seems to be teaching English to new people, eventually those people are going to outnumber us and (with help from The Foundation) have more influence than us early English adopters.
This is -our- language we are talking about here. I don't think it would be wise to leave it in the hands of this one organization.
- Has "The English foundation" selfdeclared "the face" of the English speakers worldwide?
- Has "The English foundation" raped one of the most valuable characteristic of the English language asking for breaking anonymity in order to learn it?
- Has "The Englis foundation" plausibility or any possibility of patenting, claiming or stealing other people work for the English language?
