    Shouldn’t it be ‘after having been together’?

    What is ‘at the same time’ referring to in that sentence? They wanted to break up at the same time (as in both had the idea)? They wanted to break up at the same time on the clock to continue the theme of things being same-y?

    The boy is due north of what? The place? The girl? Also, the girl should be wondering about her decision, I think.

    (I don’t even speak English every day anymore, so I could be wrong).








  • words are spelt

    Words are not fish! /s

    Spellings can help people understand a word they don’t know in some cases. This is especially true for Latin and Greek words in the language.

    and pronounced

    OK, whose pronunciation will it be? India probably turns out the most programmers who speak English these days, so enjoy your new spellings and entire new sounds and distinctions that don’t exist in your variety of English if it’s not that one already

    Efficiency is also not always the goal, nor should it be. I also know a lot of software engineers whose ideas I wouldn’t trust running my kitchen let alone my language. You would, as other posters point out, probably be interested in conlangs.
