Do you speak Globish?

Sometime ago, I've written about Globish, as it is probably the language I sepak when I think I am speaking (or writing English).

I am realising now that this is changing the way we all communicate. As Globish spreads its influence, not only the quality of English is changing, with less words and easy to understand, but also is pushing those who are English-speakers to change the way they talk.

And going beyond English, Globish has several others ramifications - two I have experienced in less than one month was Globuñol and Globugues.

It was an international meeting and a friend of mine was struggling a bit to translate someone's speech in Spanish into English. Reason: the lady was using a good and refined Spanish. So, beautiful words were virtually cut off and the translation was giving not much in essence, but with less sofistication and more understanding. Same happened to me in several occasions someone asked a question and I had to translated it into English - I have just cut the preamble off and concentrated in the question itself. That means, people who speak Spanish when relate to those who are English-speakers using their own original language, they must speak in Globuñol, as that will make it easier for translation.

The Globugues was worse - I am Brazilian, but I hardly speak Portuguese during the year. So, during my two weeks in Brazil, I realised I was using Globugues to communicated with others, restricting the words and meanings.

In all these cases and many more (like texting tks instead of thanks), communication is losing is façade, beautiful words and its decoration, focusing more in passing a meaning. In fact, paradoxically, our dialogues and talks are becoming richer with experiences.
