It occurs to me today that so much time is being wasted, and I know that the internets and forum people especially like shortening their speach in everyway possible. It is for this reason I would like to introduce a new nomenclature for describing which thing you are talking about.

The idea is to replace the beginning letter(s) of the object you are talking about with either R (right), L (left), M (middle), T (top), B (bottom/behind) or AH (ahead).

In this way you can easily talk about clicking your lousebutton or your rousebutton, and everybody will know easily which button you are referring to.

In the case of words that begin with vowels just add the letters to the front of the word. You can quickly understand me if I ask you to pass me the micecream, ricecream or licecream. It's so easy and clear to do that I wonder why it hasn't been widely adopted already.

Not only this, but words with entirely new and useful meanings will be created. For so long I have craved a word to describe both my left arm and my left leg (so cumbersome to describe), but now I can easily refer to my lapendages or conversely my rapendages. So convenient!

In some cases "irregular nouns" might exist. I can't imagine why you wouldn't use leftsticle and rightsticle, as they are such pleasing words to use.

What do you think, is this something that might take off?

Genius! This was one of my biggest concerns with the English language, and it's just so simple.

Wouldn't it be lesticle and resticle?

Hilarious though.

10/10. I honestly can't imagine how this hasn't already caught on.
Like why do u use an oven instead of a fire? Coz its fucking better at cooking, that doesnt mean you want the shit to burn.

Maybe a little more thought and websters will make the change.
