Similarly it would be way cooler if every time someone said “I’m a dolfins fan”, they meant they really like actual dolfins.
I also think that English is in need of a serious spelling patch. There are way too many letters pulling double duty or doubling up. It’s confusing
It doesn’t help that English isn’t one language. It’s several, welded together into 1 eldritch abomination. It also less borrows words, instead it pursues other languages down dark alleys, knocks them senseless, and rummages though their pockets for extra vocabulary.
The end result, while highly functional, is hellish to wrap your head around. Even native speakers struggle with it.
I’ll leave this here, as an example of how bad it can get. See how far you can get, reading it out loud, without fumbling a word.
Lol. That said, this is clearly British, for example:
Made has not the sound of bade,
Yes it does. :)
That said, British English seems to be more consistent than North American English, so go figure.
It’s also now 100 years old. 😁
I’m not sure a patch would help, better burn the entire thing and start from the square one
Damn from beating Ronnie Coleman to becoming a real dolphin, good for jay!
“I would rather be a dolphin than serve the filthy communists!”
