It is possible that they work with what they do not to make vegan meat, but to reduce the amount of horrible lives lived by live cattle.

You didn’t do most of the fuckery in Welsh, then the Normans from the north came, you paid the danelaw, but we settled either way, influencing the Welsh language, and the we also took Paris, but the Scandics became romance before two generations later reuniting with their people in the isles, creating what is now known as the French creole language called english*.

That is like the linguistic version of drive through banking. No one gains from over simplifying something to such extremes.
It just makes it simple. Like available for the special need people kind of simple.
But then again, you guys made the word “literal” mean “figuratively”, so there is some schooling potential. Some.

As a Norwegian, I am fully aware that my ancestors helped created the English language by first invading the welsh isles, and then, three generations after invading the Francs, we invaded the isles again with romance speaking nobility for generations.
English is a Nordic made Francish/Welsh/Germanic creole that was made popular by the still Norwegian blooded crown.

I used to pronounce it “sk”, but in my new job, working with schedules with a Londoner, it is now “sh” for me. Undoing the US-ification of my English one word at a time.
