Agree. If it had a phonetic alphabet, English would be one of the easiest languages to learn. No male, female, or neuter nouns and adjectives, no complicated cases to learn. Pretty straight forward sentence structure.

What does that have to do with a perfect, non-dumbed-down language?

They weren't smart enough to know that washing their hands (germs and hygiene) would keep millions of people from premature deaths.

Did I say that ancient languages were perfect? I believe I said that ancient languages were complex and modern languages are dumbed down.

I searched for "oakes walking porn" and only got porn sites. Is there a better way for me to find what you refer to?
And by the way. The world is filled with power drunk fools. A GA may be one also. Did Oakes actually say his message was from God?
