    Do you believe the Church owns the calendar? Or perhaps Christendom/Christians more broadly?

    Any larger change would be symbolic and completely impractical, with waves of inconvenience rippling through civilization. But many non-Christians use the calendar now. We don’t want to call this the year of our lord because it isn’t our lord.

    You don’t consider the simplification of Chinese “language”, nor the ordering of Nynorsk, or the creation of the Korean alphabet.

    You don’t think the efforts of thousands of teachers across a nation teaching the language prescriptively according to the designs of the state constitutes language. You seem to consider it forceful meddling in a natural evolution that should be left to just do what it does, unrestrained and undisturbed by judgmental nerds.
