Jun 2, 07:29 AM: English 2.0
I have always had a great deal of trouble with spelling and I have felt bad (dumb) about it most of my life. But you know what I don’t think that I should. This language we use makes not sense at all. Most of it is stolen form other languages, even the name English is what is spoken in England (the people there are even called the English!) but that is not the same language we speak here (USA). All the rules contradict each other and only remain constant until the wind changes direction. How can ‘to’, ‘too’, and ‘two’ all be pronounced ‘tu’ but then ‘read’ can be pronounced ‘reed’ or ‘red’.
Ok so we are building a new language and we are going to use logic and common sense and eliminate redundancy and crap like “except after C!” Here are my first 3 ideas for English 2.0
First off the word ‘eye’ is gone! ‘Eye’ logically speaking would be pronounced ‘ee-yeh’ or maybe ‘ee-yee’. The thing in your head you see with is an ‘i’ and the plural would be ‘is’ which bring me to the second thing…
The word ‘is’ will now be ‘iz’. You see an ‘S’ is not allowed to make a ‘zzz’ sound because ‘Z’ already makes the ‘zzz’!
Let’s move on to punctuation. In English 2.0 the punctuation will come at the beginning of our sentences (I think I stole that from Spanish). In my mind the punctuation sets the tone of the sentence and especially in longer sentences its too late to get all the way to the end to find out that that should have been an exclamation. Ah but you say “Garrett how will I know when the sentence is done?” It’s easy one of two things will happen. Either you will run into a new punctuation indicating you are about to begin a new sentence or YOU WILL RUN OUT OF WORDS! You don’t need closure, it’s a paragraph not a relationship.
More to come…
