The English language nowadays is periodically changing.

Super-Duper Strong Oppose This is completely misleading. First, we already have a wikipedia for this language. Second, the ISO 639-3 code "men" is not Modern English. It's the Mende language. Third, we don't need 2 language wikis. And sorry about my childish "Super-Duper", but seriously, this is just beyond a bad request..... those are my 2 cents.

Wait, what? Modern English as opposed to what exactly? Enwiki isn't written in Old English. English is constantly evolving, that is true, but en's contributors are not stuck in any one time frame. They are writing in what is spoken today- what could be called Modern English. Also, this request has not been filed properly. {{Sonia|talk|simple}} 03:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
