The word "like" has spread from the Valley to every corner of the globe that speaks English. I want it wiped from the face of the Earth.

Swap the definitions of literally and figuratively, since 99% of the population literally don't know how to properly use literally

"i" and "e" are allowed in any order.

I wish it didn’t say shite in other languages without any return of being able to understand natives in those languages. That’s what makes English so hard

Eliminate all contractions
I am in full agreement. When not on TD, I spend a good bit of time thinking about my messaging and wording. Contractions introduced too many questions internally, so I just stopped using them for the most part. Possessive apostrophes used where they shouldn't be make me want to punch people.

They are substitutes for shorter and more proper words ( converse and orient), and therefore useless and unnecessary.

You know how the Spaniards pronounce Knight in Holy Grail?
"You English Kuh-nig-its"
That was close to the original pronunciation
Cognate with Knecht.
I love language threads

I’d change the name to American.

I agree that Oxford commas are necessary. I can't think of anything else, since it has been made the official language.
