Could We Trim English Down?
About this episode
The episode discusses the potential simplification of the English language, including the removal of punctuation and certain letters.
Could we really slim down English? From ditching punctuation to dropping the “u” in words like “colour,” language experts are sparking wild debates about what we can actually live without. It’s not about confusing readers—but streamlining for a faster, modern world. Old-school purists clash with efficiency seekers as they ask: what parts of English are just taking up space? And maybe, just maybe, we don’t need them after all. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
