If language were for nothing but the communication of warnings and weather reports, an artificial international language would do nicely.
(64)
But people have always had a need to do more than simply "tell it like it is".
Language is for reporting not merely one’s work. In our language we define ourselves. For this,a language needs idioms, the oddities of grammar and style that reflect its history and development, all the poetic turns of phrases that have enriched it over the centuries. The language needs these? Well, perhaps not. Does a person need eyebrows? If you were to construct a human being, would you provide eyebrows? (65)
Is there some special reason why our lips should be a different color from the rest of our face? Perhaps not, but this is how people--real people—are.
(66)
Ar^ tificial language is recommended highly for artificial people.
The computers need it to simplify communication among themselves. (67)
For communication between people, languages in all their diversity will remain and grow as mirrors of the growth and soul of the societies that speak them.
