Mixmash Skillsofts Shouldn't Be a Thing
Mixmash should not be defined

Just sweet, simple and to the point. It shouldn't exist.

The way I see it it's a pidgin language that is constantly evolving, reinventing itself, and actively defying attempts to understand it from the outside.

Other languages, fine. But Mixmash language Skillsofts shouldn't exist.

Is there a reason we need Mixmash protected unlike every other language? (real question, not meant to be passive aggressive)

Aggressive aggressive - Skillsofts are the worst, burn them all.

I think of it as mixmash is a niche local dialect unique to red sector populace. Figuring the megacorporations don't turn a profit out of making niche Withmore-specific products. I guess you could say that it's just a chip and printing a chip might be cheap enough to do regional dialects, but then I would hope to see chips for like martian slang, freesky slang, etc. To me, it makes sense to have skillsofts for the 'business' languages of the future. The things that corporations conduct business in. Trying to pitch mixmash to the corporate board as a 'target market' would surely get you laughed out of the room, right?

Skillsofts in general, need to exist for situations where there aren't players in the roles active in the timeframe you play. Without them, you could be locked out of certain aspects of the game.

I do kinda agree that we shouldn't have mix mash softs though…

Lena - My only beef with that is that there's some ambient advertisement holos in room descs around Red described as being in mixmash (which also strikes me as a bit weird?). The corporations could certainly invest time and money into adapting ads to mash, but I think you're right that it wouldn't benefit them a whole lot. It seems like mixmash is probably constantly evolving too.
(Also… yes! I'd love offworlder languages, but there's already separate topics for that so I won't gush too much :P)
