Re: A more systematic approach to language mutation

I'm trying to get a project off the ground to
gradually start mutating English, a little bit at a
time, until it becomes something entirely different;
different grammar and different vocabulary.

I wondered about how to introduce radical changes in
the vocabulary yet make it easy for people to
understand and incorporate the new vocabulary.  What I
came up with was to introduce new suffixes and
prefixes with which new words can be coined.

Yay! I'm glad your project hasn't died. I really enjoyed the last version you had
on your site for the E.R. Burroughs story. I think that by adding affixes to
existing English words which maintain their spelling for the most part will aid
in learning the more drastic grammatical changes that you want to do.

You have [at least one] fan[s]!
