Irregular Verbs pain

English native speakers have no problem with irregular verbs but for english learners it's a big pain!

Here are some of the confusing irregular verbs. Couldn't we just use 'ed' postfix for all verbs?

Infinitive	Simple Past	Past Participle
backslide	backslid	backslidden / backslid
bear	bore	born / borne
bleed	bled	bled
creep	crept	crept
grind	ground	ground
shrink	shrank / shrunk	shrunk
split	split	split
strike	struck	struck / stricken
weep	wept	wept

isn't it the time to discuss this?

Think about it, learning english in 2 years instead of 3 years can save a lot of resources which can be used differently otherwise. Why should we create another language when 90% of world cross-country communication is in English.

Creating a standard english does not mean that it will replace natural english with different dialects such as american, british, australian, etc.

Let's get started!

The first step is to find a new standard alphabet to get rid of compound sounds such as ch, sh, zh, gh, th, etc.

English has specific sounds, why don't we simply find a character for each specific vowel or

consonant?

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
postman
mailman
milkman
mankind
should be deprecated.

Instead we can use:

postperson
mailperson
milkperson
human

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
