# It really doesn't.
Language evolution always tends to favour simplicity, but I only support it when it's true simplicity (which is dropping redundant grammatical complexity, for example noun inflections where word order will suffice), never when it's false simplicity (which is dropping non-redundant grammatical complexity, such as decision making based on letters as opposed to meanings).

# haha
not many places where people *give up* after you've been talking about acoustic black holes, rather than pointing and laughing

edit: if it helps, i also posted a crudely drawn picture of a phase transition which i put in notes for some students here. then turned it into an animated crudely drawn phase transition cock spunking big gobs of spunk.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I might have to go and have a lie down.
