HEY! I did NOT come up with this Globish. I just thought it was a neat
non-native/nativist-English-speaker's approach that this professor/educator from
India came up with. Besides, many of us on this list see waaaay too many
native/nativistic English-speaker proposals ...

    And the Prof. clearly states it's not to replace any existing Englishes
in any way, fashion or form, that Globish is a parallel language to English...
rather different to/from English  (In way simpler terms - since some did not
grasp that, he is proposing a Globish dialect, 'k?).

    That Globish can _possibly_ function sorta like an ITA (Initial Teaching
Alphabet)-like "interlanguage" of English - to help language-learners in
transitioning from - for example - native Indian languages to comprehensible WES
(World English Standard).

    Elsewhere, he also hints that Globish might eventually develop a life
(grammar?) of its own in the hands of people and he seems to actually delight in
that idea. A very reasonable & realistic lang-planning approach... create the
initial "rough" idea, let it loose & see where it goes (if anywhere)...

    Me, too.

Maybe, hopefully, someday in India, where this Prof. Manogate (sp?) lives...
