can an Italian talk without his hands?

I guess the only way to get a good answer to that question is to tie his hands and ask him to talk. He might talk but he will probably communicate poorly. That's a clever way to ask an Italian guy to do something sexy for you, tie his hands behind his back if you're into those kind of things. Just challenge his speaking skills and he'll probably fall for it :)

how about a universal internet language that will allow everyone to communicate without the need for a translator? if the internet connects the whole world with the click of a button, then its universal language can help everyone communicate with whomever they want.

I am not suggesting that this new language replaces national languages, I am suggesting that it is learned as a second language early on in school, same way people learn english, french, german etc

if the whole world will interact, communicate and trade more and more online in the future, a new, simple and universal internet language can help facilitate the process. to me, the need for coming up with such new language makes sense.

kids can learn it online from a young age. adults should be able to pick it up pretty fast. a few ideas on how such an artificial language can be constructed. the grammar, syntax and pronunciation should be simple. it should have precise words for different concepts so that any meaning conveyed is clear. less ambiguity the better. this is because people will use it to trade and make business online.

I can't think of any other rules at the moment. can you? what is your opinion on this subject?
