    problem seems to be […] intertwined language with culture

    You lost the argument right here. Language is as fundamental to culture as the sky is blue.

    The rest of your post amounts to “communication is important to function” and you are not wrong on that front. But you put no weight on the importance of culture too.

    Consider this your wakeup call, that just because you don’t personally care about society having an identity doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t.

      Of course, and what’s the culture tied to English speakers then? Do you think 2nd and 4rd generation Canadian Italians/Ukranians/wherever, who don’t speak their native language, have lost all sense of their culture? Are the 2nd and 3rd generation anglophones living in Quebec incapable of adopting any of Quebecs culture?

      Get over yourself.
