Talk:What is Anglish?

I'm Back
Well, where have I been?

I had forsaken this website many months ere, having been disappointed by the over-routh of weak words. Instead, I chose to consolidate the best entries from here into my own set of worldlists and glossaries containing only good strong words, and excluding all needless neologisms and weak synonyms.

I thought that if Anglish words were to become widespread via the internet, then, in time, they could have true currency amongst the English-speaking world. But it first had to pass as legitimate English, and so neologisms must never seem like neologisms. Moreover, I preferred to call it High English(in order that it is considered English and therefore already current), and define it as a effort analogous to that of the Academy Francais, whereby they removed English words such as "software" and replaced them with their own more characteristically French words such as "logiciel". To summarise, I felt that Anglish must be considered precedented and legitimate English, and this Wiki was not very efficient and setting forth this agenda. At best, I thought it was a good whiteboard for brainstorming.

Now, however, I am greatly gladdened to find out that you had tidied the overall website, and given a good description of Anglish. I may again begin to contribute to the lists herein, and maybe offer my "best-of" lists for your delectation? I have added words to it that I have not added here, and now feel rather guilty for not sharing these outfindings.
