All the fucking time on reddit anything anyone says gets rendered at best an
invalid argument and at worse complete nonsense that the mindless redditor
cant decode all because a slight spelling error or some stuppa shit like using
_to_ instead of _too_. In school they punish everyone for even things that
arent spelling errors. Used ' in the wrong context? You failed. All you
brashwased shitholes are screaming and crying right now and have already
rendered everything on this entire website invalid nonsense, eye no u our
(passive agressive use of wrong words try reading it out loud).

### How does proper spelling and _grammer_ get created?

  1. A person a long time ago throws shit at the wall.
  2. That shit dries up and stays on the wall.
  3. The shit gets so dry no one can tell its shit anymore.
  4. New shit starts getting wiped off while the old dried shit never gets cleaned off.
  5. Everyone starts claiming the shit is actually cement and scraping it off will cause the entire building to fall apart crushing and killing everyone inside.

William Shakespeare wouldnt even spell his own name the same way every time
yet the shit he threw at the wall dictates a lot of modern english? Go fuck
yourself. Thats how things use to be. There was not really rules with spelling
or grammer (if I keep spelling it that way it will no longer be a error).
Instead writers would spell things however the fuck they want. All those "'"
"," ":" ";"... would just get thrown where ever the fuck they felt it should
go. Than some fucks decided to look for patterns in the chaos. Where their
patterns to be found? Nope. But they sure had a fun time pretending their our.
Now we are stuck with all this bullshit like "to", "two", "2", and "too". Dont
even get me started on commas for fucks shake! Every natural language has its
own version of that bullshit so dont go crying to me your language is somehow
better.

### How adding standards to natural languages creates newspeak

When they decide what is shit and what is _cement_ they are carving out a
shape they find pleasing from the terrible flesh monster of a natural language
in its full bloody glory. While taming the monster they are just limiting it,
turning a angel into a eva (spoiler hehehe). This what newspeak is. Yes,
chaotic language and lack of standards are a problem. But taming natural
language isnt the way forward.

### _But actually constructed languages are newspeak_

Yes, they can be. Though what gives carving down a natural language for mind
control its edge is 1: its pre-existing cultural context, 2: its ease of use
for early generations of speakers, 3: the blindspots of natural language...
Instead of cutting down we need to build from the ground up. A language can be
simple and powerful. **We need human languages more like lisp and less like
java and c++.** Newspeak would be python lol.

### Commit language vandalism

Lets face it, people will not give up their faulty natural languages let alone
agree on a single constructed language or even a handfull. Its time we stop
respecting the rules of language. Misspell things everywhere! Making blogs,
books, articles... misspell!!! Your a editor or teacher? Let mistakes slide.
Your a reviewer or someone along those lines? Stop judging things based off
their spelling. We need to let bad spelling and grammer get so out of hand we
will be forced to switch to a constructed language.
