An earlier poster was correct when he observed that English (and every other language, for that matter) will evolve over time. You'll just get into trouble if you try to stop the process - like the French.

But as regards revolution, bring back Al Haig..... he knew how to marmalize English. There was a v clever article in Airclues c1980/81 by a Sqn Ldr Masterson or Masterton on how to Haig-ize English. Eg, someone who kills is a killer, and a killer killerizes, and the act is killerization, and the person who does it is a killerizationer, who killerizationorizes...........and so on, but put much better. Can some light-blue dredge up the article?
