Complex rules with tons of exceptions don't help, but simple rules do!
If rules become much simpler, a lot of questions in English forum will vanish. Much much much more spare efforts can be spent on more meaningful things (eg helping people who are suffering)
Finally, I would like to list some counter-arguments:
- respect the culture
- if different people follows different rules (as you say), confusion will be made.
- people will not be able to read past articles if changes is made.
- it will be difficult for people to get used to the new system
- it makes English unnatural
- English is English. No one person can change it manually. |
