It's an existing thing? Interesting, I never heard of it. Thanks for linking.

The Wikipedia article isn't very clear on what the language officially is. I don't see where I can find a reference of the changes it makes, aside from a few examples of ways to make English mainly more like French. It honestly looks as though it is just an excuse for people to use words incorrectly just because they have words in their own language that sound similar but mean something else.


You are reading too much into the article.

The EU will never officially name this "EU English". They will just name it "English", and at most they might point to a "guide" of what some commonly used phrases which differ from British English mean.
