Finally, the document notes English's beauty comes from subtle elements like sarcasm, innuendo, irony and word play that make authors like Shakespeare and Wilde great writers.

In his article "Death by Monoculture," linguistic anthropologist Stephen
Pax Leonard bemoans the loss of the Polar Eskimos' language and culture, tying
it in part to global warming and, perhaps just as frustrating, a seeming lack of
concern from the very pcpulace whose culture is waning. The Polar Eskimos'
connection to the larger world via other languages, as well as through the Inter

"Operation Mind Your Language," Pallavi Polanki sheds light on the
