I’m reminded of when I learned in elementary school that the Inuit have a hundred different words for snow (it might have been more or less, my memory is hazy) but we, in English, only have one.

Language always changes, but I hope that the understanding of different languages having different viewpoints is always recalled. In 50 years, even English will sound different, or have different added words. Maybe we will begin to see words coming in from Asian languages?

Interesting ideas, Alyssa. I know from my work that language is all tied up in how we (the culture) see the world. and many, many people fight to keep their language. since more than 1 billion people speak mandarin, it will be interesting to see what becomes the language of the world in 40 or 50 years. (english is third most common language and french is down the list quite a ways)

[...] Musings of an Unabashed Francophile by Alyssa Linn Palmer: “I’ve been impressed with every translation put out by the digital-first publisher Le French Book. My favourite is still The 7th Woman (by Frédérique Molay), but The Bleiberg Project runs a close second. This is an excellent thriller that everyone should pick up.” [...]

I LOVE your writing style! I also found my hackles rising in indignation of Mrs. Trent’s intrusion; it seems as if the world is just full of her type. Great job at making me ‘feel’. Thanks for the treat! Look forward to more…

Ah yes, MacGyver. I have seen a couple of episodes, but I don’t remember it very well.
