You mean when French was the dominant language?

Nice troll. Let me amend it: we now have languages which were conceived for
writing precisely what you mean (not too much ambiguity, not too little).
Lojban <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban> is the best known. I do not
expect IETF to adopt it for RFCs (despite the imperfections of English) but
I regret it. This would give me the push I need to really learn Lojban.
