I have come to share my linguistic experiment, relearning the english language but not through this joie-de-vivre interpretation we use today, but through explicit etymological rooting. No longer, i proclaimed, that i would use aweful, awesome, and awe as
awe + -ful
awe + -some
awe
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/awe
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ful#English
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-some#English

words like under-stand are disincentivized to worlds like comprehend.

Its been quite interesting so far, and has drastically changed my perception of english and increased my comprension of the latin language family.

Now, however, comes the biggest test of will of all

I am very guilty of the crime of substituting etymological definition with phonetics, what sounds good too the feels, which is why i've spent the last 2 years trying to dig myself out of it

I'm still having trouble seeing how cohorting oneself with lovers of ball gags would be conducive to flourishing a logically consistent language, unless i suppose in desparation one discrens minute differents in gagged moans to be new verbage

seems a waste of the time the creator took in making the human tongue do all its crazy things, even at the cost of causing many choking deaths
