10、e world. The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no command of the language.

Sentences of the type “The book sells well”, using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to appear in Danish (Boge
16、n soelger godt). Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, e. g. drinks.
