I read the article, and I think is quite good and easy to understand. Hopefully we could incorporate this into Anglish and then to English somehow, however, I think Anglish being used is a slow process or may never happen in a big way. Things like the for(e)- prefix like the German ver- might be a little more down the line in Anglish because the meaning of it is sometimes blurry, but nonetheless, with enough Anglish words being incorporated into English, it would eventually be easy to understand Anglish words, although, I don't think people outside our community would understand Anglish as much as we do because they do not use these prefixes as much. Although, I really do hope see this in the future, but realistically, I think Anglish might not be too influenctial for a few reasons, some of which I said in my previous comment, but also because English doesn't have a language regulator like many other languages have. The French have the Académie française; The Koreans have the National Institute of the Korean Language; The Dutch, The Belgium, and the Surinamese have the Nederlandse Taalunie (Dutch Language Union); The Chinese have State Language Work Committee; The Danish have Dansk Sprognævn (Danish Language Council); So on and so forth. These are just to name a few, yet English doesn't not have a language regulator at all which is one of the reasons why the English language is such a mess today. Here's the link I got the examples from if you want to take a look for yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_regulators



Interestingly, most national languages of the world have some form of language regulator, even for languages that span across multiple nations such as German, Spanish. Sometimes there are multiple language regulators for the same language that aren't just at the National level, such as Chinese, Arabic, and Korean (North and South). Yet for English, there isn't even a semi-offical language regulator like the Swedish have. Even English's closest language, Scots, has a language regulator.
