The descent of western Europeans and their languages

There's a reason why Greek or Latin were mandatory for all educated people England.

I don't know about the rest, but these are absolutely correct. The original Latin word was spelled honor, and the extra u is a relic of Middle English when there were no standards for spelling. Rime is also a Germanic word, cf. German Reim, which has only been spelled as rhyme because of an erroneous association with the word rhythm. It initially meant number or count, and is related to the Germanic word reckon (cf. German rechnen; Rechner, literally reckoner, means calculator or computer), and through Indo-European also the Latin word ratio (from reor, to reckon), and the Greek word arithmos (but not rhythmos which comes from the word for flow).

I should say however that the vast majority of spelling reforms are misguided efforts that only amount to muddying the connections between words in the same timeframe, as well as the etymological connections across different timeframes (essentially tearing words apart from their roots). Even if they say they want regularity, they only end up creating more exceptions, and in the process destroy whatever sense the present spellings carry.

Looking at some other suggested changes by the SSB,
would conflate the words with preexisting words in English
would remove the connection of the word with the word swear
would erroneously associate the verbs to the verb fit
would remove connections to words like receive or recipe, while relating it to words like deceit

Beyond all these, phonetic spelling would destroy the numerous hints English orthography gives regarding the roots of words, like using "ch" for Greek chi, "rh" for rho, "y" for upsilon, or suffixes like -ate or -tion hinting Latin origin. It would even complicate simple derivations between words, e.g. divine and divinity, because multiple sound changes have taken place since the derivation of the words. Pronunciation is far more fragile than written word, and to shackle spelling to phonetics not only robs the language of its past but also doesn't guarantee that any currently phonetic spelling won't suddenly undergo new sound changes and become pronounced differently.

tl;dr spelling is a connection to the past and phonetic spelling is akin to destroying your roots for the sake of momentary utility

english fundamentally began descending in its "Germanicness" with the advent of Normans, it's hardly to blame on Silures and the like, and in any case, its "simplification" is hardly an isolated case, though extreme, loss of cases and so called "grammaticalization" occurred almost systematically in the west, with various proposed reasons for it, including, and it's my favorite hypothesis, the spread of the Gothic bible
not sure how exactly it got to the point of completely losing grammatical gender though
Romance, Keltic and Baltic languages lost the neuter compared to PIE but that's about it

Persian is a similar example: despite living under the influence of such a heavily inflected, gendered language as Arabic, it lost all grammatical gender and all cases apart from the nominative and accusative, does not have any articles, only a few irregular verbs, and behaves like an agglutinative language. I've heard it's one of the simplest Indo-European languages to learn, after getting past the alphabet obstacle that is. Maybe it was precisely being under the influence of Arabic that simplified it to that extent, like English under the Normans.

Thank god for Zig Forums

The UN is pushing 'indigenous' language hard atm. its an attempt to D&C and also cripple. English is a mutt language, but in a good way. it absorbs the best words and concepts from other cultures, expanding the range of expressive options available to the speaker.
It keeps changing and evolving, maintaining fitness.
But now, like everything white and successful, the kikes are attacking it. They'd rather the world mumbles away in dead and shallow 'native' grunts, unable to communicate with each other or frame complex thought.

Completely made up unsubstantiated faggotry. Kill yourself.
