Are you saying you genocided all your language pages
because something may have looked "childish" to somebody????
That's a capital offense in CONLANG, you must restore them.
Make a new lang and let the cannibals fight for their survival.
Once you create something, it has a life of its own which
the creator HAS TO RESPECT!
