Universal Language on the Internet

In general, the universal language on the Internet is English, /or more exactly a vague collection of languages called “English”/because their common origin is the national language

spoken in England by the English. /That national language has spread over the world, /and several variants such as American English, Australian English, exist. /A great number of people

whose native language is none of the variants/ know English as a foreign language. /They typically use a more or less simplified variant,/e. g. excluding most of the idioms of British, American, and Australian English. /Of course, they make mistakes, and sometimes the “English” used by people as a foreign language on the Internet/ is almost incomprehensible to anyone else. /In addition, people who use English as their native language/ do not know how to spell difficult words,/ since they basically know English as a spoken language. / Thus. roughly speaking, the universal language of the lnternet is clumsy, coarse and misspelled “English". /
