  • I’m sure you’re not nearly as loathe as you think.

    I’m sure you like being able to plug any device into any power outlet and have it work correctly and safely every time without even having to think about it.

    I’m sure you like being able to use your cell phone and wifi without it being an unusable mess of different technologies all trying to use the same frequencies.

    Etc. Etc. Etc.

    When an aspect of technology becomes far reaching enough that it effects essentially everyone and every device, and there are far reaching consequences to it not being interoperable, then that’s exactly the type of situation where it’s good for government to work with experts in the field and decide on an official enforced standard

    That’s sort of exactly why i as an individual don’t understand why they don’t do it, because I’m a native english speaker and there’s a lot i would like to change about it. Like imo in spelling, almost all the silent letters that don’t effect pronunciation should be eliminated. Debt should be spelled det, night should be spelled nite

    I’ve asked the following question before and I’ve never gotten a good answer - why do the words need a gendered suffix at all? Why can’t the final O and A letters simply be omitted from all words that aren’t inherently gendered? Like the word for library is 'bibliotheca", so why can’t it just be called “bibliothec”?
