Now GB has left the EU, maybe Europe should create an “international written English”?

It’s kinda a joke, but would be kinda cool. They’d only have to negotiate with Ireland, so hopefully wouldn’t get too bogged down.

Have a look at Interlingua, it would make a great official language for the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua

Same article written in Interlingua: https://ia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua

Way better than Esperanto at first glance
And English and French...

It's essentially a modern, cleaned-up Latin that any European can pick up quickly.
