All English dialects are a complete mess now. There won’t be Australian/British/American spelling. There will be a completely new spelling made by clever people, not by linguists. By people who can and want to make language bearable, not just clutching the status quo no matter what.
Look at Esperanto(before you might object about artificiality and widespread… Ukrainian also has that letter-sound bijection approach. Georgian as far as I know. I’m sure there are more) for example and see how convenient and logical can spelling be. Sometimes old things are so broken and outdated that you just throw them away and ask engineers to make a new thing. That’s why our cars don’t have 4 horse-based legs.

No, that’s a weak excuse. Nobody cares about the etymology of the word. It doesn’t help much for a Frenchman that 12 words in the whole English language are written the same way as in French. But ALL people (English native-speakers included) will profit from predictable spelling and pronunciation.

no one wants to compromise
I doubt that. Appetite comes during the meal as they say in my culture. Just start and you’ll be amazed how people would welcome ADEQUATE changes.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 3 weeks ago:
Just fix that fucking alphabet/spelling mess and close the theme altogether! Any sane language needs a massive reform every 100-200 years.

When I was a kid we didn’t need nor wanted “mobile phones”. What for? For parents always be able to shout “Go home!”?

No, I don’t believe it was this. It looked exactly like an original. Just the input layout was more modern.

I played a port to the modern system recently. WASD, mouse… Was rather fun.

Pre-VI Might&Magic. That quant-square movement was bearable in the late '80x but it was never good.
- Comment on Prospect of £5 pint leaves bitter taste for some pubgoers 4 weeks ago:
So the price is just around twice as much? Hm. It looks like you have seriously high beer prices overall, not just pubs trying to set some crazy coefficients.
- Comment on Prospect of £5 pint leaves bitter taste for some pubgoers 4 weeks ago:
Pint is around 0.5 liter?
How much does beer cost in supermarkets in England?

Can’t we just slightly cut the child? Jam is a rare thing at BBQs but knives are always there.

Those are Americans, they are unable not to go to extremes. And most extremes are shit. Sausage is somewhere in the middle but Americans never look there.

What an anti-ameri-usa-cano-meri-us-ca-rricano thread! Shame on you! Say “I’m sorry” and kiss Trump’s ass.
- Comment on The man with a mind-reading chip in his brain, thanks to Elon Musk 4 weeks ago:
Yes, that is sad that in modern society all rich people, who have resources to make a big difference, are degenerates. And nice people who actually would like to make that difference are poor and simply cannot.

I don’t know, catch a woman, close her in the closet. Something like that. No idea, how would I know?

That’s ok – you just don’t need to cook for a nearest year or so if your family is of size of 2.

Like in inflation: now you have enough money to buy a bottle of vodka, in 10 years these money can barely buy you a matchbox.

Sometimes I also ask myself questions. Like what have I done with my life. Never about the chairs I never had for sale though…

What? There is such a movie already. From '80s or something. It was classical trash(genre name). Fun but… Wait, they start to make remakes of trash movies?! Oh well…
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X obtains $44bn valuation in sharp turnaround 5 weeks ago:
I’m not a stock trader so don’t know the terminology. Do I understand correctly that shareholders just say “From now on X would cost $44bn because we say that”
- Comment on #EverythingHappensForAReason 5 weeks ago:
Oh well.
Gods, dragons and democracy are real in context of their appropriate fairy tales. So gods are real in context of the story from Bible.
You were so serious, that I jokingly assumed that you never read a fairy tale in the childhood and don’t understand how fairy tale worlds are working. And where is the place where is no fairy tale books? History/documentalistic department of the library.
That was awkward :)
