    Kartaview is a generic username for the RSS types on the internet that will speak against the use of the English language as a medium of communication and yet speak and write absolutely amazing English all the time, at the same time nevertheless :p

      If one just uses we instead of I and us instead of you, English gets a bit on Sanskrit like characteristics. I’d love to use Hindi but while coding, if I have to search for linux or functions, I can’t type that in Hindi. Also, my touch typing associations are with English. Main Angrezi ki lipi mein Hindi laa sakta hu kaafi achhe se.

        Nah that isn’t the issue, I was just having a laugh over the idea of lingual supremacy that the bunch express and the hypocrisy behind it all. I love English, I love Hindi, I love communicating no matter the language. What I don’t like is how the bunch tries to moral police what language is apt to use and what’s not.

          What bunch? Languages do have differences in semantics and it’s possible that a language is superior.

            I’m pretty sure you know what I mean when I say “lingual supremacy” and the bunch who propose such narcissistic positions, which is not the same as studying languages and its cultural significance and efficiency for a demographic. I felt that you already knew what I was talking about anyway, have a good afternoon mate
