the very act of adapting (fixing) a "broken language" by one of it's
users creates an empowering tool that could eventually lead to a,
generally accepted, less broken, form of said language.

besides, for the most part, this "E-prime" (hooray!!! another
euphamisim!!!) "is" being used by me to aid my OWN mind- not society's.

as I said, I speak English, not esperento, or lojban. (though I am
impressed with the idea of Lojban being an interface language for humans
and computers... but not enough to go learn it)
