Languages with priesthoods make me chuckle.
- noarchy 9y ago>Languages with priesthoods make me chuckle. You'll likely be downvoted by the way you made your point, but there is a point to be made here. Native English-speakers, for instance, probably couldn't fathom there being an official body that makes decisions like this about the language. It just so happens that some of these official bodies make a point to stave off the influence of English on their respective languages (for better or worse - I won't argue either here).
- emodendroket 9y agoRight, we don't have an academy of English. Instead we have several competing organizations publishing dictionaries and style guides to the same purpose.
