anadewism is the following of the rule ANADEW 'A Natlang's Already Dunnit

Heh. The pond is the atlantic. Thus, rightpondian is 'on the east of the
atlantic', that is, English English, and leftpondian is American English.
The acute and grave were borrowed, I believe, from Dutch. I think an acute
is a rising emphasis, and a grave is a falling emphasis.
Some other things - Maggelity- A completely illogical/irregular orthography,
adjective Maggelic.(eg. English)
Etabnannery - An orthography which has
extremely complicated rules, but is regular(eg. Irish)
