ABSTRACT : Heart-felt opposition to the status and spread of English in the world at large and most particularly in China today. It can hardly be denied that England has given the world maritime law, contract law, and an international language. However, whether by accident or design, the effect of these 'gifts' over time has, we would argue, been the destruction of many ethnic customs, social structures, and other aspects of culture. There appears to be little or no dissent among linguists regarding the proposition that language and culture are inseparable: what affects one affects the other. This paper discusses how the global spread of English has affected - deleteriously - many languages and cultures, and currently engages too much time and too many resources in China today. Maritime and contract law may have been less problematic. 56
