JackTheBandit seems busy, 8bit. Could you start this discussion. You have "words to say." I'd like to hear them. humanodon, you're multilingual, right? so you might have words as well. Which [human] languages seem preferable for communicating certain ideas?
In a recent discussion with wasoxygen, I mentioned that my multilingual grandfather used Polish for swearing - specifically if he was beating someone in chess, he'd call them a donkey in Polish. I wish I could have asked him this queson. -- but to "communicate" you pretty much have to speak in a language the person in front of you will understand. Multilingual authors might have much to say on a preferred language.
