Another important aspect is to have literate people among those trying to keep their languages safe. People with high education are needed -- linguists, academicians, that kind of people which are iconic figures in their countries and which may influence others to the right thing.
Yes, it's somehow our duty to educate the uneducated.
As we all know, in ancient Greece / Rome, the society profited from progress due to science and the academicians were very prestigious.
Not only there, it's a pattern in history (but somehow, especially ancient Greece / Rome comes to my mind).  Cheesy


So it's good to see that such movements are happening also in the rest of the world, outside this forum. Practically, with our campaign, we only got in line with linguists, teachers and other literate people which try together to preserve their languages and which vouch for correct use of the mother languages!
Indeed, we can be role models here, once again.  Smiley Smiley



Maybe I can start to set up an attempt to bring this topic to more local boards or as we have discussed recently, where I was planning to launch a topic, where people could link their recent posts and good ones would receive an additional chunk of Merit if the requirements are met. At least, Merit is meant that way: to reward quality posts. Nowadays, many people only spend Merit for their fellow sigspammer friends, no matter if the post is really worth it. It's like "am I getting my fair share of Merit to join the next signature campaign?". People don't care about their posting quality, but still want enough Merit to be accepted in a campaign.
This occured in our German local board, which is really a shame.  Cry
So, improving language is really an important issue, where hopefully more people will care about - in the forum and in real life.  Smiley
I'm still optimistic here, escpecially due to you inspiring discovery in your calendar.  Smiley
