Hi--
 
I'm slightly puzzled by the following, which it seems to me is a fairly
common statement among linguists:
 
"SWE is not inherently better than any other langauge;..."
 
Is this the same as saying: "SWE is not better than any other language"?
 
Which leads to the crucial question: Are some languages "better" than
other languages?  Is there a "best" language?
