Which is better? Traditional English or simplefied English?

On /pol/ we call it newspeak.
At least we would if /pol/tards were literate.

French.
French is a proscribed language, not described like English.
English majors are the dumbest people on earth. Unlike the French who have a language. English is just a bunch if guttural sounds, and what it means is whatever the most ignorant tools thinks it could mean, right or wrong. English isn't even a real language.
Faggot is a bundle of sticks.
Gay means to go about happy
welfare means the general well being of the people.

American sounds like mouthbreather British

>>537581920
It's not just the way things are spelled that are different but also the words and phrases used. I hate seeing Americisms get used here.
>>
There is only English (English)
If you wanna spell shit differently be one of those retards who calls the language "EXCUSE ME DO YOU SPEAK AMERICAN?"

Omg that's from that one book 1984 that's so educated and well read of you to reference!

the funniest version of English is Scandinavian because multiple English sounds don't exist in your language so you sound like thirdies when you're ESLing.

British English is more consistent in both tone and spelling, so generally I prefer to use that on my devices.

Ever listen to a Scotsman speaking English? They're incomprehensible. They had so many accents in England they made a standardize pronunciation, like the French, so that the elites could travel and be understood by elites from other parts of England.
French did the same thing. Canadians speak more like the original French from Northern France than the French do today.
>>
>>537582265
Scots sound the way English words are spelled, it's actually how I teach kids to remember the spelling of a lot of words.
>>
>>537581920
it doesn't fucking matter
every language that is not latin is just filled to shit with filler words and ambiguities

>>537582250
I donno.
Colour vs Color.
Lorrie vs Truck
bonnet vs Hood (wrt cars)
pullover vs sweater.
soda vs Coke.
Davenport vs. Couch vs Sofa.
English is a poor language.
it's like "American Spanish" vs. Spanish.
Go to Spain there's one word for the mens room. Go to Mexico, another. Then you go to Puerto Rico, and they have a third word.
My buddy was an Engineer from Spain, wanted to go see East LA. I thought he was going to die. He tried speaking Spanish there. "I don't know what they're speaking" he said, "but it's not Spanish".

An intelligent mind values simplicity and efficacy over rigid adherence to tradition.

>>537582043
Lack of unnecessary "u's" shat out in random places.
>Color vs. Colour.
>Humor vs. Humour.
>Flavor vs. Flavour
Etc.

Also, Brits do weird swappings of "er" vs "re."
>Theater vs. Theatre.
>Center vs. Centre.
>Liter vs. Litre.
And before Brits try to claim we're the ones that made that swap: -re comes from French influence. -er originates from standard English phoneticism.
>>
>>537582344
I know. Which is why Op's question doesn't make sense. There's only two options.
For example, Patrick Stewart. He's learned two accents, both UK, but he only uses Standard English for his acting roles.

This.
Sums it up. There's standard English, and then different accents that are well into "different dialect" like Yorkshire.

>guttural sounds
phonetics is such a fascinating topic
all the different languages reuse so many of the same sounds
its basically just encoding
pretty sure not long until we get a human to human translator based on sound not meaning and not much later after until we finally get the dolphin to human translator

WHAT THE ACTUAL LIVING FUCK

SPEAK EXACTLY HOW IT'S FUCKING WRITTEN

EITHER CHANGE THE SPELLING OR YOUR FUCKING PRONOUNCIATION
>>
>>537581920
We need even more simple English really, where everything is spelled exactly as it sounds. Both the current versions suck. But the simplified one is in the right direction (humor > humour)

Americans spell it "aluminum" so that's a bad example.

Only faggots proofread 4chan posts, and fake ESLing is a fun way to troll. The best way to do it is to spot Americanized phrases, but people can pick that up from /tv/

That's a bad example though, because the guy who discovered it kept changing the name. If I recall correctly, "Aluminum" was actually the version he preferred.
