Maybe that is why it is The Greatest?
Oney fo those that can speaks it goodly...that's why the Left constantly bans age-old words and co-opts meanings - to dumb everyone down.
Although English grammar is rather forgiving as compared to other languages, a person wishing to learn English must effectively learn two similar but distinct languages, English as written and English as we speak it. Consonants and vowels are so frequently omitted, changed, and slurred in spoken English, one familiar only with its written form would have difficulty holding a conversation. For just one example, consider the simple sentence “I cannot do it.”. It is usually spoken as “I Kant” or “I knit”, which bears little resembelence to how it is written.
That is, of course, the essence of Newspeak. Orwell was ahead of his time.
I once read a little book, either by or with Jerry Rubin in it. It was about how they went to Cuba and learned how to undermine our nation. One thing in particular I remember from reading it, about thirty five years ago, was that the Cubans taught them how important it was to destroy our language, as much as possible. They felt it one very effective way to undermine us. They are definitely still at it today.
