I think that might be the point if it! It’s ironic ain’t it?

I think they're trying for satire but reality is kicking satire's ass right now

I’m in the fortunate position of not being a fellow countrywoman/man to you Not that this is Utopia either

We'd take the pseudo-Utopia of not having to call Trump our head of state at this point

I can quite appreciate that! You have ALL my sympathy

Someday my beautiful country will redeem itself. We appreciate your patience

Did they come for the people who put the umlaut on the second "o" of coördinating? Because that shit's just out of order, man.

Give it time!

I don’t think it’ll puncture the zeitgeist, tbqh, language mostly simplifies rather than gets more complicated and English is not naturally accentual
-
Depends on it’s origins English is a bastardised language that absorbs words from other languages all the time It’s about common usage And it’s what keeps it interesting & the linga Franca of choice

Yeah, it’s great for international communication because it’s relatively simple compared to other indo-European languages. It’s not going to pick up an umlaut because 2 US newspapers start doing it. It would be an unnatural top-down change. Plus it’s naff, stylistically.

Good for a bit of fun though Disagree that English is simple It’s complexity is what makes it so versatile
-
It’s not totally simple, but it’s easier to get a basic grasp of than a language with declensions or tonality
