While I do agree that educational standards have dropped precipitously in the last generation or two, there is such a thing as linguistic snobbery.

This is the idea that a language was perfect in the past and has now de-evolved. King James Onlyists, for example, use this argument or people advocating for using the "Queen's English" only.

Languages evolve and change all the time. I am not so concerned if some uses the "word" bigly or ginormous, to be honest. People can use ain't and it doesn't bother me.

Besides, in the Bible, we have Koine or common Greek. I am sure that the intellectuals and high minded people of that day looked down upon it but I find it to be very elegant. It was a supposed "downgrade" from classical Greek.

Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter. :mail:

We're probably all going to adopt (because we're free) Hebrew beginning in the Millennium.  I wonder how to say "Chocolate Cream Pie please" and "Key Lime Pie please" in Hebrew. :unsure: :unsure:

Maybe a universal heavenly language will make sense to adopt. :good:

I certainly think that we will perfectly understand each other in eternity. There probably will be Eternal Esperanto, of some sort.

I hope we will still retain our original languages, though. It would be fun to hear what language Adam, Noah or Job spoke and learn it and from it. Of course, the languages would be glorified in some manner to leave out anything that is displeasing to God.

Plus, pie. Pie is always good. ? ?

Here's a good article in PIE and why it is important. The concept of language families and linguistic science supports what the Bible says and not evolution.
