Well, what other language should be used? Latin is the language of science because there's no way we'd ever agree on which alive language to use.
I didn't say it was a bad system or that we need to change it: I said I hate it.
Fair enough haha
Um English? It's the international language and language of research, though some may not like hearing that.
English is only the lingua franca for now, but that, as well as the English language, will inevitably change.
English might change drastically so much that we change words entirely (so old abbreviations don't match new words), so let's just go with the guaranteed dead language where abbreviations already don't line up. Yeah I can't agree with that logic.
The whole point of using a "dead" language is that languages change over time and scientists once had the foresight to attempt making their works more universal over both multiple languages and over time.
Let's rename everything every century or so. It should make things easier.
Esperanto, the second language of the international laborer /hj
I unironically kinda wish that would take off. The concept of a super simple bridge language is great.
