Parlez-vous Panglais?

Or rather, "Milate pangkila;" for them of us out here.

Whatever it is, i trust they find something more graceful than 'panglish'. I winced at Pangloss and I wince at this. Ugh.

English as she is spoken today will have disappeared and replaced by a global glottal?

Do you know? From wot I hear as I cruise me old 'hoods of Swiss Cottage, Clapham and Kennington, I wouldn't be surprised.

'Pon my soul, I sometimes think that yon Master Headley (whom God preserve) and She-with-the-wan-smile about-to-be made-respectable are the only two remaining stalwartettes with whom I can hold a decent conversagger.

I'm more inclined to heed the New Scientist's observation that "the global form of English is already becoming a loose grouping of local dialects and English-based common languages used by non-native speakers to communicate."
