yea very true! and as someone who grew up speaking french, i want people to stop making the viola/voila mistake too. viola is an instrument. voila is what you mean most of the time.

also off-topic, but i heard the word senglish, for singaporean english, on a podcast yesterday. that made me realize how english has the potential to become a universal language with each country having their own version.

french people already use the term frenglish when they mix english words with french. we could have spanglish, japenglish, germanish, etc. they don't have to be called those though.

it would be totally awesome to be able to communicate with almost everyone in the world. just like the internet!
