RE: PATRONAGE - Steemit word of the day
Love it or hate it, it’s become the lingua franca of the world. I wish I was bilingual or trilingual for that matter. My grandparents spoke Italian and English but teaching the tongue of the old country was discouraged back then.
Why is that @dissfordents?
My thoughts on the British language is influenced by my experiences in communicating the same joke in various languages like Zulu and Afrikaans, and the difference is more that phonetic. It's very emotive telling English jokes in alternate language. Almost like adding cheese to a peanut butter and jam sandwich..
