I definitely feel, as you wrote in your article, that it is a generalization. It is very imperfect and categorizes based on assumed historical standards. That al british people speak english (their vocab is different than american though), and that chinese is manderin, etc. You're right, it shouldn't be used! Thanks for responding.

I've just seen StarTrekMovie website - it seems that they are using flags to depict release dates, but then again.. I do hope that this is NOT becoming a standard. It's just not right and correct and some people I've been talking about this topic even go and say that it might even represent some kind of imperialism agression. Not sure that I would go that far, but there is some logic behind this, for sure. Thanks for comment, Sheldon.

Case in point, the new star trek movie site (http://www.startrekmovie.com)... at the bottom of the page, a bunch of flags poised as buttons... does this mean it is becoming standard? I hope not, i share the sentiment that it is a very poor indicator of language solidarity. I’m totally on board with the ‘not using the flag’ thing to denote language…but EVERYONE is doing it.
