Soon the NetGrammarPolitzei (NGRAMPO) will be allowed to view all facial recognization tapes and rule on correctness of grammar. (In all languages, including Spanish, Arabic, Chukchi, Roshani, and NaDene.)

NaDene is a proposed language family, not a specific language. This illustrates why all discussions of language should be confined to professional linguists in academia, who understand its extreme subtleties, rather than laypeople.

Same thing for voting. Contemporary politics and governance are far too nuanced for the average citizen to discuss and understand. Important issues like reproductive rights, amnesty for international workers, re-establishment of non-human-impacted wilderness areas, and revenue enhancement for necessary social programs are easily distorted by political laypeople, and should be left to expert "voters" designated by politicians already familiar with governance.

A bit off-topic, but do you believe we should allow civil servants to vote? How about people on welfare?

Exactly. (Maybe I should have written just diné.) Of course we could be democratic about things and let everyone fly planes like we do with cars.
