gotta say, i love how english is such a horrible excuse for a language that deliberately ignoring half the rules of it still results in something that communicates just as effectively
@autistikai *more* effectively
@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun not necessarily. i think that depends what parts you throw out
like, if you keep the spelling rules but remove the pronunciation rules, that doesn't change anything once people adjust to it. if you keep the pronunciation rules but remove the spelling rules, suddenly english is a learnable language
@elfi @InTheLandOfTheRisingSun hey, english has very strict spelling rules. they're just so inconsistent they typically apply to Individual Fucking Words
@elfi @InTheLandOfTheRisingSun in some cases, certainly. but some rules are english original(tm), and besides. most languages don't use the spelling rules of a completely different language to spell their loanwords
