What word should be deleted from the English language and why?

@SW-User So why do you want to delete a word with many meanings?

@GunSmoke9 Just to irk you, GunSmoke! 🤣🤣

@SW-User Yeah, I'm sure.

I teach......I'd be fine with it 😁

@FurryFace I like the challenge, silent letters? No problemo, I'll learn how to spell Pterodactyl at some point lol

It is deeply offensive. I will remove it.@HootyTheNightOwl

@HootyTheNightOwl Agreed.

I agree @bijouxbroussard

@bijouxbroussard I totally agree..
This is the best answer here...

@PikachuTrainer The point is why would an American ask someone who is a UK citizen how long it took them to learn English...

@HerKing Beats me.

@HerKing They’re [b]dumb[/b]. Sorry. I’m annoyed when people from the U.S. “correct” UK spelling because of [b]their[/b] ignorance about differences. I know both spellings are accepted, but the language [b]did[/b] originate in the UK.

@Peapod I’ve done that, mostly when I’m teasing a friend.
Along the same lines:
Mebbe not
I dunno
😉

@bijouxbroussard, hee hee...I know I use silly words too when I am teasing my friends.

I like the answer about all those words with letters that are silent or don't phonetically sound out. My mother always said the hardest language to learn is English. I can believe it.

OH yes, I had looked it up. It sounds Scottish. @FreeSpirit1

@pennynoodles it is actually Danish for poop.

@PikachuTrainer And Swedish baj

Nah, everyone puts kisses nowadays.

@pennynoodles I do it on here at times.

@SW-User it's spelled like zylophone? 😳 I had no idea...

Now the word 'nakey' should be introduced to the dictionary. @JoyfulSilence

@pennynoodles

I cannot wait to get home so I can get naked.

Okay

@pennynoodles I dunno.
People see it and give up! :)

I know what the letters are all worth individually but then you'd have the added trouble of triple letters, triple words etc. I give up.

@Nimbus I'm lazy, what's it mean?

To be fair, that's 3 words! Lol.
How about 'embarrassment'

Ha ha, I'm not disagreeing with either of you.

You are obvs a highly intelligent lady! 😁

others seem to disagree with you. @SW-User

I think that if we banned the word, it would still happen. @Smokey

@pennynoodles sadly

💩I had never heard it called THAT.@pentacorn

you're the luckiest @pennynoodles that ever lived.

I consider myself blessed.

@Firestarter So how would we refer to something that is being Retarded, say a Bomb? Or a Car?

@Firestarter That's what I was going to say! I find that word very offensive.

LOLOLOL love it.@Harriet03

@pennynoodles FRIGHTENING sign! 😱

Too offensive for you? 😁@Pinkstarburst

I'll bear that in mind....@curiosi

Aw no, I cant allow that one, I love the little creatures and their numbers are in decline as it it. If we ban that word, they may be forgotten about altogether 😢@SW-User

@pennynoodles Nooo I love them too. Just give them another name like Sonic or something

Can you spell prickly pig?@SW-User

Okay@Adaydreambeliever

You have found one of my bug-bears. Even fully-grown people use that word 'like' incorrectly. grrrrrr@HerKing

How about - go on tell me more?

Hmmmm, that might not work in this scenario. I have a big bar of Cadbury's Chocolate in the fridge. You ask If you can have some. I reply, " go on tell me more." Nah, that simply would not work! 😁

[@ in this instance it would have slowed you down ? - mission accomplished? @pennynoodles

We don't really use that term over here; I have always thought of it as being an American term.

Awesome is as annoying as the new way that people say, "It's so SO amazing." Why do they have to say the word 'so' twice as if to exaggerate it. grrrrr@pennynoodles

@SW-User Same thing

@Straylight Fail to see a real distinction there.

@bijouxbroussard You're generation tried to destroy labels. New generation is all about creating as many as they can.

@sspec If you delete “sorry”, Canadians would be at a loss.

@sciguy18 Sorry seems to be the hardest word. 😏

😁@bijouxbroussard
