Hi,
'Globish' is the new English according to a book just published by Robert McCrum. Quote: | Jean-Paul Nerrière, a French businessman coined the term "globish" in 1995. He had noticed that non-native English speakers in Asia found it easier to do business with one another than with native speakers. Globish was his name for the kind of English they were using: a "decaffeinated" version without complexity or cultural baggage | .
Now where does that leave us?
