Yeah, it was frankly a very odd argument. A word means what people understand it to mean, and that understanding (and usage) changes over time. So many non-linguists for some reason seem to think language is pre-defined by some static authority.

Conlangery @conlangery.com · 03/08/2026
The meaning of "evil" has far outstripped the "left" meaning. Sure, it means left in some contexts, but you'd be hard pressed to find a child that learned that meaning first. There are words where older meanings are completely lost as well ("silly" basically never means "pious" anymore).

What's most problematic is that this just seems like a sort of Hangul-inspired cipher for English. I would of course love if they made a full conlang (perhaps inspired by the languages of cultures they pull from), but this ain't that! This is worse than appropriating Chinese.

It's called clusivity, and it's a fairly common distinction among languages. It's sometimes useful to distinguish "we (including you)" and "we (excluding you)" for a lot of reasons, so many languages just end up encoding it in pronouns or agreement.
011
Conlangery @conlangery.com · 18/07/2026
This is because not all dialects (of Mandarin) have the distinction, so it gets muddled as people from different areas talk to each other.

A lot of beginning conlangers really try hard to run away from English, which is very understandable. I like to think I’m to the point that English is “just another language” I can choose as an inspiration or not. Of course, one cannot eliminate bias entirely.
