ElM, it's funny how people mix up their language with their identity and think of their language as something wondrous and immutable but it's just a bunch of chimpoid grunts bearing some relationship to reality. Maoris are struggling to keep their stone age useless language going. They didn't even have a written form, and of course the theory of relativity written in Maori is of little interest. It's good for some tourist dollars and to get ahead in the nanny-state politically-correct culture we are suffering, but other than that, it doesn't have a lot going for it. I'm sure there will be a globalizing attack on English/American at some stage to make it a reasonable lingua franca. It's already underway. Unlike the "keep French pure" campaigns and the like, English is happy to hijack anything which aids communication. It's just a tool, though some pedants still try to keep it pure. As long as the apostrophe's are in the right place, I'm relaxed about it. Mqurice
