We are speaking a language that is a similar monstrosity, borrowing both words and structure from so many other languages, pronouncing the vowels differently from everyone else because of the Great Vowel Shift, never having a spelling reform so you have to know where a word came from to know how to spell it.
So I am cool with weird hybrid words that mash together concepts from multiple languages to make puns. I speak the wrong language to be a purist.
- mdp2021 2y agoNo, there are better ways and worse ways to use more distant languages for the development of this one: this Language is very far from being something that could be reduced to cheap puns. «Hybrid words that mash together concepts from multiple languages» - which is very fine - are not necessarily cheap puns (which the superficial similarity of sounds easily engenders). But anyway, that a coined word suffer from transplant rejection is "not the end of the world" - provided it remains a proper name for a specific item, a brand.
