I like to think of it as streamlined English. Dropping unnecessary "u" in words like colour and neighbour. However, keeping the characteristic confusion that that defines English, such as through, trough, though, dough, plough...

I jest of course.
I am a big believer that if you can understand the context and concept, it is valid language.

The apostrophe is only 150 years old.
They think it will become obsolete within the next 100.
Also, as someone with ASD, I love the use of emoji to show meaning to the text, because subtext is something I can't understand.
That and emotional faces.

Leave out the Y and the A and replace it with an apostrophe. Problem solved.

I was just interviewed by NPR
I got to talk about something really important to me and accidentally went off on a tangent about apples

Seriously, etymology is one of my favourite things.
A decade ago I was a foreign language coordinator and I only spoke English badly.
What's your job?
