How is "nowe" a better spelling for "now" since the trailing 'e' typically softens the preceding vowel?

And "proove", what does the 'e' add?

Not all rules from English 1.0 carry over to 2.0.

In particular, the terminal E has lost it's role as Magic E.

1. 'nowe': English 2.0 distinguishes 'ow' (digraph, same sound Long O as in 'know') from 'owe' (trigaph, same the OW diphthong sound as in 'now'). The 4 letter combination 'owne' is also the 'OW' dipthong sound, but is used at end of words like towne, downe, browne, etc.

Technically, the 'E' in '-owe-' and '-owne' is not a guard or silent E, as it is part of the trigraph/tetragraph and serves to give a different phonetic sound to the '-ow-' digraph. (eg. In the same what the 'sh' digraph is a different sound to the letter 's' not in such a digraph).

This is what the Specification says about the owe/owne trigraph/tetragraph:

ow[n]e Internal & terminal OW diphthong (howe, towne, scowel, flower).

2. 'proove': English 2.0 retains the 'guard' e after -ce/je/se/ve, -iyze & u-glide words - this is mainly to retain overall word shape, so that someone who knows nothing about English 2.0 can still read most words immediately & without effort.

In this case, E does not have any softening role, as all c's not associated with a 'k' are already soft, and likewise all s (when not the pluralisation or possessive 's') is always hissed & not buzzed like 'z'.

Also, all g's are always hard (any soft g's are converted to j). English 2.0 has phonetic plurity in that g's always sound like 'go', whereas English 1.0 allows two different sounds for the same letter.

Is it a good idea to do that? Feels like loaded guns for children.

If AI was doing its job there would be no overload.

Just getting a round and round sometime never on my phone.

I think the whole "we think on language" is either wishful thinking from LLM developers, or the product of some people for whom it is true. I suspect those people are writers. When I am trying to write something (like this) of course I think in words to form what I am going to say. The rest of the time, no I don't.

Well if you get 2 jobs, 14 hours a day you need to clear $11 an hour to make it.

And minimum wage in my state is currently $15/hour, so you can even do that after-tax.

“The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars."

Well the nearest star is over 4 light years away. Even if you got get there today your happy news would reach earth in 2030 and our congratulations would come back to you in 2034.

Extended consciousness?

This is just the first step eventually we will be just like the Culture novels that Elon skimmed through the Wikipedia summaries of.

We are slightly delayed on the first Mars trips timelines that were supposed to have happened already but the overall timeline of being all over the universe at some point in the future is still perfectly on track.

This is an economic opportunity in the quintillions you would be stupid not to give Elon billions to be a part owner. Keep in mind like in all of his businesses no one else could ever do this, there is 0 competition only what his companies do matter and if you don't believe that GFY

Given his track record of promises and "repromises," I'd say he's still on course, the very same.

There are 8 billion people in the world.

Just saying.
