Re: A break in the evils of English (or, Sturnan is beautiful)

Sorry again. I'm now going to find an email client that doesn't have a
stupid send-without-asking-when-you-accidentally-press-ctrl+Enter
feature. Grrr, stupid UI designers.* Anything potentially destructive or
irreversible should ask for confirmation. Maybe I'll go back to PINE.
(In this case, I'd used Ctrl-back to highlight some words, then was
going to press backspace and pressed Ctrl-Enter instead.)

And probably ended up not sending it anyway, three quarters of the
emails I begin writing to this list I would normally not send.

*And I've heard it said (mainly be Gnome developers, true) that Gnome
UIs are high-quality. Bah! There won't be a high-quality UI until I've
designed one. (Although I'm not very artistic so I'll have to
collaborate with someone else to get the icons.)

From what I've seen of English and French spelling (a lot of English,
less so French), I'd have to say that English is simpler. It has more
irregularities, but it's simpler. Of course, that could be because I
speak and use English on a daily basis. And a lot of English oddities
are simply because we seem to have a problem with modifying borrowings
better fit our orthography. But I do agree that English spelling is
overly stupid. So I created Et'abnanni and T'air'einnel...

Now, when I'm installed ruler of the world... :P
