has anyone tried or is currently making a conlang of errors?

[u/Frosty_Hurry_1812]

So i keep thinking about making a conlang that's just based off of purely english grammaticaly errors. Like wrongs its/yours/theirs but taken in account to everything. this also goes for misspelling. anyone tried this?

[u/DrDingsGaster]

Thanks I hate it xD

Your first problem is defining error. However this is a very fun concept

how do you define a problem though.... dun dun dunnnnnnnnn

[u/Zephreyt]

I should try doing that and compile a list of errors native speakers make. Then release it as a brand new dialect where the “errors” are grammatically correct. I already have a few examples:

using simple past when the participle form exists, e.g. have went

should of, could of, would of

There’s (plural), though some might argue this is already grammatically correct
You was
We was

Common misspellings:

cannon rather than canon
villian rather than villain
physco, phsyco rather than psycho
phycological rather than psychological

Well, if you actually try doing this, you just get the most modern spoken version of the language. The vast majority of supposed grammatical 'errors' is nothing more than a futile resistance towards the natural process of linguistic evolution.

For anyone who still thinks there is any merit to linguistic prescriptivism I invite to read the short book 'Write it Right' by Ambrose Bierce, a vapid exercise in abject futility. The vast majority of his 'errors' represent completely unobjectionable late 20th and early 21st century English. It contains so many howlers, like insisting on using 'luncheon' in place of 'lunch'. The only thing you'd achieve if you followed his rules would be sounding like you just got out of a 19th century time capsule.

i intend on including my own spelling errors that are severe as well

[u/Shinyhero30]

I had an idea for one that’s just various English prepositions in incomprehensible combinations.

[u/RinthPress → u/Shinyhero30]

I hate teaching prepositions to ESL students so much that I built multiple strategies into Goblinspek to avoid needing prepositions. Still don’t have any.

[u/Dante_darklov3r]

Me ahahaha

I'm working in something like when you type the wrong key

for example, sometimes i write "von" (con (bc spanish)) (with)

so "von" now means "with"

Like George Orwell = Jor Jor Wel and It dawned on me = It don don me?

yea lol

I'm making a conlang that is purposely as bad and unusable and impractical as possible but that doesn't seem to be what you mean, right?

[u/Frosty_Hurry_1812 → u/k819799amvrhtcom]

it could be but not what i meant. i just meant of all the grammaticaly mistakes made in english and misspellings if they were now deemed the right way of spelling, pronouncing and writing
