> What do you think about invented languages such as Esperanto and Volapuk or even the almost-completely-regular Turkish, versus our own chaotic tongue? I personally like the irregularity of English, and would use "dreamt" over "dreamed" anytime, or "yclept" over "cleped," or "dove" over "dived." I like the Anglic forms much better than the Latinate, and much prefer "feckless" over "ineffectual."

I was just thinking about this very topic quite recently and thinking about how the English language has several words that mean very similar things and several words that mean several things !

We have whole dictionaries dedicated to this (known as a thesaurus, but you all knew that).

Although I like the simplicity that a contrived language creates, very subtle nuances of meaning can be produced in English that can't be created in other languages.
