2.5.1 general topics on language
Q: The spelling of words in the English language is not scientific
and is difficult for children to learn. Would it be useful to
change the spelling to a scientific system?
The English language has developed from the needs of the people from which it came, and it has been modified and modified again as it has grown out to adapt to the needs and circumstances of different people, of different cultures around the world. So this language has become the best that can be done at the moment to promote a universal language. Now there are political reasons why this has occurred, but nonetheless it is the language that has been chosen. And at this point this language is the most suited for the development of technological terms, scientific terms, terms that are needed for the present development of society. But it is not a substitute for Sanskrit. However, this language is very good for day-to-day use and scientific discussion.
It may be modified, but, if so, there should be a universal movement to do so. You cannot simply say in this place I will adjust it but over here in another place it will be done in such and such a way. There must be a universal movement to adapt the language, if it is to be adapted. And if the spelling is changed, then it must be in a universal way, not adopted only in one place, because then it loses its communicative value between cultures. However, I do not think that the adaptation of this language is necessary at this time.
