    language is fluid and spelling is interpretive

    Said every dipshit American that can’t spell in their own native language 😂

      Language is fluid, but standardised spellings are helpful for clarity and ease of reading.

        Anybody who’s every read a document written prior to the eighteenth century will tell you that people had a pretty “interpretive” way of spelling back in the day lol.

          The hallmark of a truly sophisticated language is the ability to express complex thoughts consistently and conscisely.

          And without so many unnecessary U’s.
