I bought an xternal hard drive iomega n it comes with instructions. This is an analysis of th pamplet in support of theory I have written on English as an efficient language.
Th last page has th same sentence in seven languages. Th first of these is English, n it takes one line. Th other languages take two lines, they r, French, German, Italian, Spanish, then what I blieve is Russian n Arabic.
Th Arabic script is cursive n very small. U might b aware that this language is read right to left. Th sentence is longer in Arabic.
One can see immediately that English takes half as much space, or half as much distance. Granted this is one xample but there r more.
I want to say that I am bilingual in English n Spanish. I read n understand a little bit of French n Italian. Otherwise I could feed th information into a translator but I am certain that it is the same instruction.
For this to happen th words must b longer, one word is five symbols. Th word "for" is pour in French, per in Italian, para in Spanish.
I submit that we should xamine our English n make any adjustments necessary to th words to make th language even more efficient.
We have a frequency alphabet that bgins with a "e", e is th most frequent letter in th English alphabet. So just by removing e's th language is rendered more efficient. Th consequence of this is:
1. less time, less distance, less paper, less energy, less ink, less cost, less weight, less memory, less carpel tunnel, less errors. This will manifest in faster written communication, smaller books, cheaper.
2. Th word 'The' is th most frequent word in th English language. So if u remove th 'e' u will enjoy all of th above. Keep in mind that language is communicating tool n we can change it to suit our needs. Remember it use to b Thee n Thou, until one day it was thee n hopefully some day soon it will b th.
3. Words starting in 'ex' like exit, can be shortened to xit. This will eliminate all those man hours used to xplain to students why it starts with an "e" n sounds like an x. So even our educators n students will benefit.
4. Th xit signs can be 1/4 smaller n hopefully .25% cheaper. These r tax dollars that we need for other things. Think of it as th 'e' tax. Imagine u r on that last bridge that collapsed, obviously our infrastructure is in disrepair. We could use a few bucks to make those repairs....so our loved ones dont drown at th bottom, or get crushed by tons of metal.
5. Th pamplet shows other languages, Chinese. Th symbols in this language r very complex they have about 3000 of them. So typing is very slow. They defaulted to English. This was prudent bcaus most of th technical information is in English. This is not good for Americans. They have 300 million people that speak English, 300 million engineers....they can solve any problem. And they r using our own language against us.
Th US has 300 million people but not all of them can speak English n many of them r illiterate.
Th fact is that Webster change th English language to b different from th British. But some of that language has to b revisited n reinstated. Th word daughter underwent a change for th worse, it use to b dawter. So he made added two letters. Thats a 25% increase in ink, paper, memory. There is no reason to not default to th shorter spelling. It is a matter of life n death.
