Rtfm 06 Mandarin For Maybe Poem by Stewart McKenzie

You might want to read The Meaning of Everything (forgot the author's name) which is the story of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary.) It isn't an exciting read, but your poem reminded me of the way these scholars went about deciding which words to include. Your poem is thought-provoking. Raynette

I liked the cleverness of this poem even if it is a little off the mark, imho. Sure, we'll all be speaking English, but not because self-appointed guardians of other languages try to keep their languages 'pure, ' but because English is the language of Empire.

What an interesting poem. Short but to the point.
