Beware - Anglish was invented as a fun linguistic game - and it is! - but then neo-Nazis took a liking to it. So if you wonder if some fans are a bit odd in that way ... they probably are. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2018/blue-eyed-english https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/...
- tptacek 4y agoAt some point, we just have to stop letting trolls claim things like this. Linguistic purity would be a worrisome goal if, like, any native English speakers could casually and correctly speak Anglish. But they can't, because Anglish is silly. It doesn't seem like a useful tool for indoctrination. I'm just writing out of frustration. As a practical matter, if, like, the only people on the Internet that do Anglish stuff are Nazis, and so digging into Anglish messes with all the recommendation algorithms, then my being irritated at their claim on it doesn't make much of a difference.
