To avoid contamination. Greek and Latin are "dead languages", meaning that nothing new is written in them. They're solvable problems. Eventually, every single scrap of Ancient Greek will be unearthed and pawed over. There will never be anything new in these languages. That means that increasingly minute details are studied. This means that the studies of these languages get increasingly sensitive to increasingly minor details.

But if someone were to write something simple, say a poem, as part of their studies, there'd be no way without incredible labor to determine that it wasn't in fact just some student's poem written today and not an ancient text that has survived on the back of a copy of St. Seetheopolosis homily "On Punishments" about why seeing women naked is gay but assfucking little boys is what Yahweh intended. This can lead to all sorts of enormous problems. Make a grammatical mistake, use the genitive in place of the dative? Now there's a dozen academic papers written on the implications that this poem opens up. What if you used the dual by mistake? Now suddenly there's literary theory out there on Greek polygamy. Invented a word? It's in dictionaries.

And there's ENORMOUS amounts of this stuff. Girls took up the traditional European practice of Cento (taking a poem and rearranging its lines to mean something else) and would write erotica to each other using the works of Homer, Plato, Thucydides, etc. What if any one of there bawdy love poems were to fall into a scholars hands? It's even worse today, as the average Classical scholar today was far less skilled with these languages than the average schoolgirl was two centuries ago (ironically, because today's scholastics, with the exception of Indo-Europeanists, don't actually compose in the languages that they study), so how is he to know?

i disagree with the other anon about writing a novel. you have to write a non-fiction book trying to convey complex ideas. this is where you really learn about grammar and its importance. and not simply an essay of a few pages, you need to try your hand at stringing multiple ideas together in a comprehensive and coherent explanation. if you're really genuine about literature then you can learn by writing fiction, but writing a sci-fi or fantasy novel is basically a waste of time.

In this case Mr. Snuffles 005 makes an extremely trivial statement and in doing so pedantically avoids the actual sentiment expressed by someone when they criticize someone else for not speaking proper English or using "made up" words. Mr. Snuffles 005 deliberately ignores the substantial meaning the phrase "made up words" has: to indicate that specific neologisms are unwelcome or identify the user with degenerate elements.
Words are slowly changing their meaning year by year and people for the most part don't notice it. On the other hand when Bobby spends too much time on the internet and starts talking like a retard the uneducated family member simply identifies his "adapted" verbiage as made-up (not grounded in social practice, therefore not useful for communicating, therefore stupid).

Anyway, snowflake is right in this case, except for when it tried to sneak in the idea that one has an obligation to "adapt to an ever changing society" to "keep up with progress".
Just like dictionaries aren't rulebooks, the mere fact that new made-up words come into existence all the time isn't a good reason to replace your old made-up words. Language shapes thought, so if you would like to avoid being continually and subliminally manipulated, don't let weird ideology words into your head without at least thinking about it first. If you use twitter-words routinely, even if you're doing it 'ironically', you have already half-accepted their metaphysical implications.

The problem with pidgin is no one knows what the fuck the real meaning is. "Cap" is the perfect example. No one can tell you what cap means with absolute certainty. It used to refer vaguely to bullets, but now the Frankenstein phrase cap on a stack has moved the term into total ambiguity.

Pidgin is created by retards who literally have not comprehended meaning because their exposure to or absorption of history is poor. They are mouth grunting noises to express their emotions and literally any word or noise will do. There is no cognizant attempt at meaning because the creators of pidgin lack the depth of experience or knowledge to make foundational comparisons in their expressions. There is a whole framework of language that they ignore out of pure ignorance.

You would say this is based. It is. Pidgin is absolutely based as spoken language. Where intonation can do the heavy lifting and transfigure essentially random grunting into a facsimile of meaning. It does not belong in writing unless it can prove through time to have a mostly clarified meaning like "bae". Writing is a dead act that requires as little ambiguity as possible because it is so famished for other sources of meaning like facial expressions, tone, volume, speed of delivery, etc.

It's still the product of laziness and ignorance though. It's an emanation of the same phenomenon where your common garden variety girl makes literature references to harry potter because that is the depth of her experience with literature. Her interest goes no further and does not engage with the lower building blocks that the foundation of harry potter is built from. This is how pidgin speakers are interacting with language.

Don't forget that it's parasitic on living languages. For blacks to be able to live out their perpetual demeaning minstrel show as "the cool kids" in the giant high school that is the world (for them), uncool ordinary languages have to exist to provide unspoiled meanings to distort to create the illusion of emergent complexity. AAVE is a high entropy system that would literally regress to grunts and simple phrases like abo English or BBC pidgin English:
>UAE bin suspend flights from many destinations for Africa afta di emergence of di Omicron variant.
if not for continual subsidies of functional language bits from the "normal" (white) super-language.

Dumb white liberals with college degrees think that blacks walk around going "what's crackin' sneedle-dee" to eachother and inventing new words for "covetous" to express their authentic street culture of being covetous, with a deep vein of tragic irony as they also realise such covetousness is ultimately destroying them.

In reality, blacks who live in truly isolated black areas without any forced interaction with white institutions (school, jobs) talk like full blown mental retards, but without the benefit of it being a secondary creole in addition to their primary language (like abos have). Blacks ONLY have the creole. They really do stand around going "you finna to get dat ding?" "yeah i finna." "ok." until all they know is monosyllabic "ding" words for vital necessities (phones, food, cash) and a few retarded function words like finna, bin, and dun.

Many of them can't understand more than simple tenses (past, future, present). That is a good way to make a slave population, because they literally can't even think of counterfactuals and conditionals and so on. That was the exact goal of Newspeak in Orwell, to create a language that doesn't even have the internal possibility of conceptualising or describing states of affairs other than or beyond the present. One has to accept something if it's the only thing one can think.

Language control is everything. "Problematic", "Empowered", "academic buzzwords". The war of ideas is fought through soundbites. The masses do not have the attention span for anything longer. Our ancestors used to have a working memory the length of a thesis statement. Now that has been shortened down to just a single word. Cognitive dissonance is rampant because single words can terminate a dialogue when one or both of the participants are incapable of comprehending the total meaning of the sentence the loaded word was used in.

I read about Reginald Dunne and Joseph O'Sullivan recently, the two 20ish Irish rural Irish boys who assassinated Field Marshall Henry Wilson in 1922. They both had only a bit of Catholic school, since most of their time was spent in the British army in WW1 or working to support their families in their teen years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Dunne
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_O%27Sullivan

The speech written in prison by Dunne to give before his execution (he wasn't allowed to give it) still exists, written from a prison cell after no doubt being beaten and probably badly maltreated by English guards. I read it, and it's leagues beyond anything that could be written by a Harvard graduate today in terms of clarity and focus. I can't really explain what I mean, but the focus is more interesting to me than the literary quality. The fact that he can actually think his way through a fucking point and express himself, despite having little formal education and basically being a country bumpkin who is about to die very young for his country. You can't even find professional journalists who can express themselves clearly these days.

Just stuck out to me for some reason. Something is attacking our collective intelligence and spirit and actively trying to degrade us to the point of animals. This has to go beyond simple explanations like TV or Internet causing brain rot. It's coordinated and too efficient.

When I replace "black" with Cockney and some of your examples to Cockney slang, I get no evidentiary information as to why this difference in language used between blacks and, I guess, whatever your group is, has anything at all to do with being black.

The only thing you seem to referencing to show this connection is a shared racism.

So what I can gather is that you lack the mental faculties you claim are missing in others, because you seem to have fooled yourself into thinking you have proved something.

I guess when it comes to language, the ability, or lack there of, to speak it has nothing at all to do with whether you are intelligent enough to be able to pick out your own biases.

No, Beethoven's work is beyond entertainment, the same can be applied to literature, true art has always been beyond entertainment. If your criteria for understanding art is "I like it", then yes, all art is equally valid, but if your criteria for understanding art is "let's deconstruct such piece" or "what is the innovation here?", or to put it simply, "why is the author truly intelligent here, how does he show his geniality", then no, not all art is equal. That's why YA dies, its just a mediocre product of the age, while authors like Cervantes, Shakespeare, Homer, etc. keep themselves alive, because they offer matter to be analyzed and because they were ahead of the curve in their eras. Trap is another example of something mediocre, and the only justification for their fans is "you can't criticize other people's taste in music", yes I can, Beethoven invented dynamics in piano, trap has no innovation and will only be remembered by their popularity.

I have no patience for Chomskian bullshit HOWEVER, having studied classical languages and ancient languages and esoteric languages and so called "magical" speech, I can say with certainty that NO language, however "perfect" is immune from basic ugliness, pronounced even moreso in the myriad attempts by later scribes and scholars to "cover-up" the holes and inconsistencies in their grammar of choice. It really stretches back to Russel's paradox...there is no logical system, no language, that can ever totally account for itself; but the impulsion to legitimatize or equalize utterances on a common field is no different from the classicist who insists on perfection, as they are both attempts to cover up the inconsistencies, the illogical and ungrammatical that is inherent to speech and writing, only the former's flaw is admitting any and everything as "valid". There are definitely things people say which are stupid, and there are definitely things that are elevated or excellent and hold a kernel of deeper truth or transcendental beauty, but everything must first be evaluated on its own terms and not through the some great code that determines truth value like a Turing machine!
