copypasta that i just had to rip off of substack. but like, because it's actually good
I really don't understand why people get so mad about pronouns. Sure, the user base can be a bit smug, and not everyone needs, or can afford them, but if you use language a lot the upgrade is definitely worth it. Proverbs are also great (and I think they're planning on releasing pro versions of more word classes soon) although that's mostly because anything is better than getting your verbs interrupted by ads, and I'd rather speak pirate if that was my only other option.
Of course, you get even more flexibility for free with an open source conlang - it's nowhere near as hard as people say (you don't need to compile anything to Chomsky Universal Grammar yourself anymore, unless for some reason you want to), and you won't have to change your workflow much unless you do something crazy like jump straight into a minimalist Pirahã based distro, or commit to hours of debugging aethyrs whenever the latest channelling broke something just so you can comment "I use Enochian btw" everywhere (I use Enochian btw).
The support for language games is also much better now than it used to be, particularly after Wittgenstein was open sourced in 2022, although there can still be compatibility issues with utterances made in proprietary language (not to be confused with private language, which was thing used by IBM back in the day, for single-user systems with no networking support, and definitely not Wittgenstein compliant).
As for the security benefits, a lot of it really comes down to using a separate "subject of enunciation" for low-level access and administrative tasks. Of course, imperative mode escalation ("Voice of Command", "7th Function") attacks are still possible, but under normal circumstances they're really more of a theoretical curiosity than anything you need to worry about, unless you plan on getting on the bad side of entities like the NSA or Académie Française (In which case; Solution: Magical amulets? Fake your own death, move into a submarine? You're still gonna get Académie Française'd upon).
Most users will be perfectly safe as long as they keep their True Name - i.e. the first-person declension of their root morpheme - secret, and don't incorporate any suspicious, pseudo-linguistic nonsense from anonymous blog comments into their world model (and even then, you're far more likely to get bricked by a basilisk than Snow Crashed in the colloquial sense of taken over and remotely controlled by an attacker).
Also, and I know this is a meme and hopefully nothing anyone takes seriously, but: if you're running anything English based, DO NOT remove French "to save space" ("to spare room"?) - it will break all kinds of critical dependencies, 1066 and all that.
