    You’re describing every language for the overwhelming majority of the last 150,000+ years. English is not unique in that.

    Name a single language that didn’t have an aristocracy that knew how to read and write and learned formalized Grammer for the majority of that languages history.

    I didn’t read anything else you didn’t understand after that first bit tho.

    I can help a little, but I’m not teaching an etymology class over here.

      You do realize more than half of the world’s ~7,000 languages still have no writing system, right?

      😂 I’m going to be generous and assume you’re just trolling now and don’t seriously believe this.

        Cool…

        I’m going to continue to not use emojis and take a quick step to make sure I never try to help you understand something again.

        Everyone wins!
