Idea: Annotated English
Often regular English encountered in books, movies, and songs can be unclear. For example, in the song "Home on the Range" the line "and the skies are not cloudy all day" is unclear. Does it mean that the skies are not cloudy all the time, or does it mean that the skies are never cloudy?
I have begun to come up with a solution to this problem. I call it Annotated English. Basically, it is the introduction of various other types of punctuation into the english language to make it more clear. For example, the song excerpt previously mentioned could be annotated in two ways:
"And the skies are [not cloudy] all day,"
"And the skies are not [cloudy all day]."
As I develop this idea further I will post more on this blog.
