what's wrong with english

the british have been (and will continue to be) so humiliated that there's no reason to even be ashamed of it

Chauvinism. The world language should be derived from languages across the world, not just Indo-European ones (looking at you Esperanto!)

yea but there is no such conlang around today

I think it's better to adopt english and have a large decolonial movement that sets up a parallel Wikipedia where plants and animals and everything else are named after their actual native names instead of "lord smittlington's small pepper"

I said english was good because esperanto is no better, and everyone already speaks english
