The English language makes no sense. There are hundreds of words that sound wildly different than how they're spelled, and there are countless nuanced rules that one must abide by, including the rules that make precisely zero sense. The plural of "goose" is "geese?" Why not just "gooses?" But, if we must go by the aforementioned goose rule, then why is the plural of "moose" still "moose?" It's a travesty, and it's one that we must overcome. But, as humanity has learned time and time again, jumping right into a complex social issue without any starting point is setting yourself up for failure, so why not start small?

The word "anger" is used on average six hundred and twenty-one times per day, and the fact that English treats this word so horribly is a travesty to modern culture. It's a word that seems simple enough; everyone I know uses it without an issue, but there's a gaping hole in the logic of how this word is spelled. It's generally agreed upon that when someone displays anger, they're known as "angry". It makes sense upon first inspection, as adding a "y" to the end of an adjective is a common English rule. But, when taking a fine-toothed comb through the spelling of this word, one may notice that the "e" has simply disappeared for no good reason!

Records from the mid thirteen hundreds show that the dictionary writers were fed up with how common the letter "e" was, and they wanted some way to get back at it. They felt that "e" was getting comfortable in its position at the most common English letter, and the only way they knew how to put "e" in its place was to remove it from "anger". But, when the English were shown the word "angr", they felt uneasy. Some say that the change in spelling caused the Bubonic Plague, so they decided to take a step back and be more subtle. Instead of changing the whole word, why not just change a form of it? It seemed the perfect plan. When they unveiled the changes, the backlash was virtually nonexistent, and they kept the change. Now, ask yourself this, do you want to be living in a world that was built off the pettiness of centuries ago? It's 2019, shouldn't we collectively move on? This is exactly what I propose. The mistreatment will be accepted no more.
