É and è and -in are hard for me to get right
I think I can do -on, -an, etc

Once you get to double digits and inch closer to 100 it gets weird

80 is four-twenty

420

No numbers are better than Anglo numbers

So do French stoners so 80 blaze it

Four hundreds twenty

But it's easy

The only simpler system for numbers than English is esperanto tbh

Quatre-cent-vingt

To be fair in archaic English usage you do have the score

Four-hundred-twenty

Strangely enough when I was counting a lot of things I would count in twenties, so it might not be as weird for me as I thought

Abraham Lincoln's famous speech

I like the score

"Four score and seven years ago"

It's just a term like decade

That's probably a vestigial feature from Anglo Norman

As are most of English's advanced vocabulary

I didn't know score meant twenty till I was 15

The English word order is also from Old Norse

In Old English it was SOV not SVO

Old English had declension so order didn't really matter

And could change for emphasis

I liked the idea of English linguistic purism until I went on their little wikia and it was basically Germanic LARPing

We wuz saxons n shiet

They called it Anglish or something

Anglish.wikia? It is in no way representative of the Anglish project ,

Oh

The Anglish community is far, far from unified

Also I find the Anglish wikia too simply grammatically

I'd prefer a return to the rich declension systems of Anglo Saxon

I would consider myself a proponent of Anglish and the Wikia is a crappy pet project by a tiny group of people with terrible ideas

Make it at least 2 genders like Dutch

They have de and het

Ænglisc had se, seo, þæt

Then learn old English. English can drop foreign vocabulary and resurrect some old but it can't go back to declension

So Anglish would basically be Afrikaans then?

West Germanic language with no declensions

No genders, no cases

Iirc not even verb conjugations
