If we're going to use English, let's use it. If we're making alterations to it, fine. But it seems so arbitrary on which words are chosen for such.
Don't know why not capitalizing the first word of the sentence doesn't irritate me while the use of "ur" does. And I'll support the shortening of "though" since the "gh" has no sound input for that word.
Our language is messy, yes. But that's why it can be used to make some powerful speeches and pretty poems.
