I applaud your thoughtful answer

I only speak English and Chinese and I would say that if you wish to express yourself then it depends on what exaclty you're expressing. English as above stated has vast utility and draws upon multiple cultural influences depending on the angle you want to express but Chinese (Asian in general acutally) have different linguistic structures than western linguistic direction. For instance a relatively short sentence in Chinese, perhaps consisting in as many as five characters, can have a tri layered meaning with in intrinsic corelation that is much more easy to understand if you are familiar with Eastern culture. You don't have such opportunities in English however if you wish to write for a western audience then why would you bother with that level of complexity when it can be layed out in a more accessible format to a western mind?

I fancy myself a direct person who enjoys getting to the point without too much dicking around but can still maintain a semblence of culture in whatever point I'm trying to make. English fits this so far
