A field of study around the idea of removing all forms of "to be" from the English language fascinates me. This eliminates the passive voice and requires a subject acting on an object for everything. It ends up improving several forms communication and makes certain rhetorical "tricks" impossible.

Actually worse, the notion of being from the language. This seems evil lol
