Absolute English

Science once communicated in a polyglot of tongues, but now English rules alone. How did this happen – and at what cost?

it's very interesting to see how English supplanted the other languages.

Hi !

Very interesting.
As a conclusion, we could say that, instead of choosing a neutral language, the scientific community has adopted the official  language of the dominant power : the USA.
