When will humans stick to speaking only one language?

[Colon capital V]

I hope for the day that anyone and everyone can finally read my autistic thoughts and retarded ideas without a language barrier.

No, estúpido.

 

[Akashic Retard]

Kiam ni havas bonajn aŭtomatajn tradukilojn ni ne bezonos lerni malsamajn lingvojn.

We'll all be speaking Mexican soon enough

Honestly, when Elon (or whoever) finally develops a space-based colony. Whoever colonizes space in a serious way will set the language standards for the human race for the next few thousand years. Same with measuring systems, and possibly other cultural benchmarks. When Mars and the Moon and a hundred orbital habitats all speak exclusively English, every immigrant from Earth will speak English fluently as well, just to get off-planet.

I'd guess we're about a century away from English becoming the only real language left.

Personally, while a lingua franca is useful, I don't want to see individual cultures just die out. If there is to be a sense of uniformity, it has to be in moderation.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

When people stop pretending learning learning English is soooo hard u gaizzz

 

[SeniorFuckFace]

They already do, its called money.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

That probably wont ever happen. There might be one day when the vast majority of the word's population speaks English as a second language but I doubt highly entrenched local languages and culture would ever disappear.
There is high value in speaking a language you and a budy would understand but a person who only speak english wouldn't be able to understand.

As long as the lingua-franca is American English, I can live with it

Why are you presuming only one country will colonize space?

 

[Kosher Dill]

Autism is its own language, so unless we extirpate it from the gene pool entirely we will always have at least two.

 

[Stabmaster Arson]

We already do. All people who are human speak English.
