gotta say, i love how english is such a horrible excuse for a language that deliberately ignoring half the rules of it still results in something that communicates just as effectively

@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun not necessarily. i think that depends what parts you throw out

like, if you keep the spelling rules but remove the pronunciation rules, that doesn't change anything once people adjust to it. if you keep the pronunciation rules but remove the spelling rules, suddenly english is a learnable language
