Why not Esperanto?

Esperanto is a very good language. However, for some reason it failed to be accepted by international community. Perhaps it has all the good features but soul and spirit. It is dead and too machine oriented. Besides, it is always hard to start to learn something from scratch. Learning the resulting standard English for a native American speaker should be as easier as learning British English. In other words, we do not change the language but merely slightly correct it.

Grammar Ease #3: Antonym Prefixes

Here is a very common problem with English, even native speakers sometimes are confused.

Antonym of expensive: inexpensive
Antonym of able: unable
Antonym of possible: impossible
Antonym of advantage: disadvantage
Antonym of religious : non-religious
Antonym of virus: anti-virus

Wouldn't be life easier with a standard prefix?

Advantages of a Standard Language

Using English as a base and build a standard international language which does not belong to any nation has following advantages:

1/ easier to learn
2/ easier to extend
3/ more accurate machine translation
4/ computers can understand it better (more high-level programming languages)
5/ countries can adopt it as international language without causing nationalism conflicts. I have seen French, German, Japanese, etc who know English but reluctant to use it. You can see this fact in their products and services as well. Last year, in Frankfurt airport, I could not figure out how to check my emails as everything was in German.


PS. There is no perfect natural language in the world. Natural languages represent culture and history of nations. As each nation should keep their language, so I should make it clear that I am not talking about changing British or American... English.

Spelling Ease #2: Avoid Unnecessary 2-Character Consonants

E.g.

instead of ph (in philasophy) or gh (in rough) use f (filasofy)

In Turkish, S has been slightly changed (Ş) to represent sh or ti

Thus
instead of shop use Şop
instead of national use naŞnal

In fact, Turkish character set (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_language) has been created since 1932 based on latin characters. Following the same approach we can spell all English characters without any confusion.

Spelling Ease #1: Omit Useless Characters

E.g.

Instead of through use throu
Instead of comb use com
Instead of subtle use sutle
Instead of colour use color
Instead of night use nite
Instead of might use mite
Instead of could use coud

Human Rights Rule 1: Gender-Agnostic Nouns

Nouns like

mailman
milkman
mankind
should be deprecated.

Instead we can use:

human

Grammar Ease #2: Propositions

Learing where and when to use propositions properly is another nightmare! Besides, this is one of the main obstacles towards translation of Egnlish language by machine.

There are certain rules to use on, in, at, with, etc., which are very straightforward. The main issue is with compound verbs, such as get on, get out, get, off, get down, get into, get up, etc.

Possible Solutions would be
1) avoiding them as much as possible.
E.g.
instead of kick off, use start
instead of get on, use ride

2) merging the proposition and the verb.
Eg.
get on ---> geton
getoff ---> getoff

This has been already down with verbs with proposition as prefix and has made life much easier:

E.g.
for get ---> forget

Grammar Ease #1: Irregular English Verbs

Learning English would be far easier without irregular verbs. Using "ed" to make past and past participle tenses is really straightforward:

work worked worked
start started started

We can easily generalize this simple rule to all verbs:

Instead of:
go went gone
We can use:
go goed goed

Instead of:
begin began begun
We can use:
begin begined begined

Instead of:
bind bound bound
We can use:
bind binded binded

Instead of:
do did done
We can use:
do doed doed

Instead of:
is/am/are was/were been
We can use:
be beed beed

Global Standard English

There have been some attempts to create a new language for this purpose, which all failed. We should be realistic. English is the most common language for cross-country communications.

English is an international language. It does not belong to any specific country. As people in each nation have right to communicate in their own languages and dialects, it makes perfect sense to have different kinds of English such as British, American, Canadian, etc.

Besides, similar to any other language English also has a lot of complexity in terms of grammar, spelling, and pronunciation exceptions. English speaking nations should have rights to keep all these complexities as part of their heritage.

However, people around the world should not have to pay for complexities of English. Not to mention the confusion caused by multiple English versions.

We should identify:
1) the slight changes in English language which can decrease the learning curve to communicate in English properly.
2) the slight changes in English language which can decrease the ambiguity and confusion in the communications.

As a real case study, Chinese have been saving a lot of time and energy since they chose to use simplified Chinese characters.

I would like to invite everyone to assit me to list the possible changes to English in order to make it a globally superb standard language.
