Found this article from Esquire a really good read on how, depoite there being so much negativity surrounding the english language, there are some aspects of it we should celebrate because we have succeeded in making modern English “more efficient, more economical, more effective, plainer — in a good way — than it used to be, all of which makes it better suited to its ultimate purpose: getting what’s inside us out.”
It is something I will bear in mind even as I am writing my vows for the wedding.
