Is there any reasonable merit to multilingualism for a person who only wants to write in english? Years back I've developed a turn of phrase coincidentally around the same time I started learning 2 more romance languages, but from looking at my peers I'm sure that it's not a universal thing. So does learning foreign vocabulary, grammar, conjugation, idioms, sentence structure etc. help strictly with writing in other languages or is that time better spent simply doubling down on language of your choice and learning more words, reading more books in it instead?

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the whole cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jump shot, every rebound and three pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there. I Am B-Ball. Though I have reforged the Ultimate B-Ball, there is something I must still do. There is another basketball that cries out for an owner. No, not an owner. A companion. I must find this b-ball, save it from the depths of obscurity that it so fears. I will meet you outside of Cuchulainn's Tomb. Do not worry. I will be back.
