ðiss winzde will meekst Ȝupitter a sandwic. This Wednesday thou will makest Jupiter a sandwitch. Wouldn't it make more sense to have it be "wilst meek"? Either way works.

Anglish in the case of these proposals seems to be something of a misnomer. Typically, the whole point of Anglish is to create a variant of English that removes Romance, Greek and Latin words, replacing them with Germanic equivalents. As a result, it is a little peculiar to adopt the name of Anglish...

Yes, I'm nearly entirely satisfied by my language. It is far from perfect, but designedly so; what naturalistic language would be perfect?

To be fair, I think that's actually quite a common occurrence with orthography reforms. Road signs and stuff written in the old system don't just get replaced overnight, nor do even all new books or newspapers immediately switch to the new one; there tends to be a transition period that can last li...
