I'm not sure I understand, while I can follow the logic that grammatically correct might make in easier to remember, doesn't using uncommon vocabulary and, by modern standards, strange structure defeat the whole point?
From the page:
> Jacquette Brandtr Johm the Pectus of Barnsdall doubted Glenn Gay Gregg and 12 noisy stoats
As a non-native English speaker Brandtr doesn't look like an English word, Johm looks like a typo, Jacquette looks French (and contains a cluster of four letters for a single k sound) and I wasn't sure what a stoat was (my first guess was a type of goat).
I definitely find orf's version a lot more practical.
- debdut 6y agoIts the order that fits the mind, when you delete the order it's impossible to remember
- gerdesj 6y ago"Jacquette Brandtr Johm" is a person's name. English (usually) only capitalizes proper nouns - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_noun_and_common_noun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_noun_and_common_noun. A stoat is one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoat
- simias 6y agoSure, my point is that IMO they're not very memorable or real-looking names. "Elisabeth Brown Presley" feels a lot more natural and memorable than "Jacquette Brandtr Johm", at least as far I'm concerned.
