Language barriers

A profound point THAT I MADE BECAUSE I'M SMARTER THAN YOU.

offside language

Offside language refers to speech that is socially unacceptable, offensive, or inappropriate for the situation. It includes profanity, abusive remarks, or crude expressions that cross social boundaries or show poor taste.
“That language is offside. Keep it professional.”
“You’re using offside language in a public place.”
“The comment wasn’t a joke, it was straight-up offside language.”
“They got warned for offside language during the meeting.”

The observation that all human languages are, by definition, constructed social agreements, but this theory specifically highlights deliberately invented languages like Esperanto, Klingon, or programming code. These are not organic evolutions but are built from scratch to fulfill a purpose—whether fostering global peace, enriching a fictional world, or giving unambiguous instructions to a machine. They prove that the core function of language (creating shared meaning) can be engineered, and their success or failure depends entirely on whether a community agrees to use and build upon the construction.
Example: "Esperanto was built on the Theory of Constructed Languages: one guy mashed up Romantic and Germanic roots to create a 'neutral' tongue to unite humanity. It failed to replace natural languages because not enough people bought into the construction. Meanwhile, the constructed language of Python succeeded wildly because the community of programmers agreed to use it, showing that a language's power comes from shared belief in its utility, not its innate logic."
