Pure Evil

The English language has a vibrant history that renders it rich and expressive. One legacy of its dynamic history, though, is a quirky system of spelling that only bolsters the language's character. As always, however, the forces of evil will not rest, and so we have the Simplified Spelling Society, only one "s" away from SS. It started with the subjunctive... but, tragic as it is, that at least was not coerced. Let us hope that the government doesn't step in. If the bastion of free expression that is the English language should fall, God keep my native and oh so glorious tongue, I resolve never to read, write, or speak it ever again.
