Language policy lends itself, for all sorts of reasons, to the realm of forgetting.
Not the least among these reasons is the very nature of language as, we assume, almost as natural and obvious as the air we breathe, though there are some signs that the latter commodity might be experiencing problems as well. In many public perceptions, language is not usually something that has a policy attached to it. It is in the nature of human development that by the time we have learnt our native language we have forgotten the strenuous physical and mental negotiations that went into acquiring it. Only when you begin to learn another language does this forgotten anxiety return. Childhood anxieties are sure to return.
