The EU Should Adopt ‘EU English’ as Its Official Working Language

Here’s Why

The UK’s bewildering decision to leave the European Union, the so-called Brexit, has so many unimaginable ramifications that for decades UK and EU citizens will keep discovering new ones, and the fate of the English language, including the likely rise of “EU English”, is just one of them. The fact of the matter is that, with the British voluntarily out of the picture,

the European Union must formally adopt its own form of English as its official working language:

EU English, European English, or European American English, if you please. The pros of such a wise policy move – the EU adopting its own kind or brand of the English language – will be manifold:

It will finally give all Europeans an official working language that is nobody’s mother tongue (nobody in EU 27 will be “a native English speaker”, well, except for Ireland and Malta, but they are both enough of a special case).
