You can make a language simpler but old books still exist. I guess if we burn all old books and disallow a means to print these old books again, people would be happy?

Reprint them with new spelling? We have 500 year old books that are unreadable. 99.99% of all books published will not be relevant to anyone that isn’t consuming them right at that moment anyway.

Lovers can read the lord of the rings in the ‘original’ spelling.
