remove foreign influences from english!

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-17 10:09

There's too many foreign words in English. I propose we remove them forever, kinda like Ataturk did with Turkish, but more thorough. I shall post exclusively using Anglo Saxon words once I get my etymological dictionary from home.

It is rumored that Ataturk later regretted what he did [about the language reform, not the alphabet - that was a massive success] - Ottoman Turkish was the language with the richest vocabulary in the world after English - and while modern Turkish is clear, understandable and simple as an artificial language, it is also kind of bland and sometimes too vague. Works for poetry, but fails in prose. Also, I suspect they fucked with the grammar aswell now that I'm learning Latin - there are far too much similarities for two languages from different families.
