we should al speak mandarin - it's a complicated langauge - no
tenses... which means you have to incredibly precise.
actually, everyone should speak spanish - it's the best. (: and you can
be more precise with /you/ and your tone can be conveyed with word and
verb conjugations.
actually, precision is possible with english, i just think that perhaps
peopl ehave learned to be lazy with expression. why use a bigger word,
when a bunch of little ones convey near to the same meaning? because
sometimes it is very good to be precise.
