Too much English on the web, say experts

That's the headline on an euobserver piece reporting that "Experts from around the world gathering for the first Internet Governance Forum in Athens have criticised the predominant use of English on the World Wide Web".

Their opinion on this is no better or worse than mine. Linguistic diversity has its points, but bloggers will use the language which gives them the biggest reach to the audience they're aiming at.

This won't always be English, of course. But when it is, that's the blogger's choice, and no alleged expert is entitled to gainsay it.
