Marklang - The language of the future.

The website for the new language that will bring together all the people in the world requiring the tools to convey thoughts and ideas accurately without having to spend more time thinking about the language rather than the ideas being conveyed.

It has increasingly come to my attention that the English language, as a tool used to communicate accurate thoughts and ideas, has been abused to the point where it is no longer a useful tool. (Please note that when I speak of the English language, I include its usage in areas like the USA and Australia as well as the UK.)

The reasons for this are manifold. I mention but a few:
Politically correct speech.
Does anybody know whether a visually challenged person is blind, colour-blind or near-sighted, to mention just a few options?
Word overloading.
If somebody had to say the word "fly" to you. Would you think of a mode of transport, an insect or object that is part of your trousers?
Non-conformance to rules.
It is a well known fact that there is an exception to virtually every rule in the English language. Sometimes many exceptions.
Ambiguity.
When we need to make a distinction between "not guilty" and "innocent", then we are slowly starting to lose our grip on the language.

Thus when a language, like any other tool, comes to a point where it cannot effectively be used for the task that it was intended then it must be replaced. The English language has reached this point. The main purpose of a language is is to allow the speaker to express a thought in such a way that the receiver will understand the thought exactly in the same way as the speaker. Of course, this is an ideal situation and we don't live in an ideal world. However, in its current format, the English language has reached the point where we spend more time thinking about how to convey our thoughts and less time thinking about what to convey.
Therefore, if any serious discussion needs to take place, the English language can now be considered to be obsolete. A new language is required to aid in the quick, but correct, transmission or our thoughts and ideas. Witness the birth of Marklang...

To this end I have embarked on the massive task of creating an entirely new language. This language, named Marklang, will be the primary medium of communication in the next millenium. (Which by the way does not start on the 1st of January 2000 as so many people believe these days.) The reasons for this are as follows:
Easy to learn.
Marklang will be very easy to learn. Among other things it only has three tenses; past, present and future. Also the main feature of Marklang is "less is more." With a very small vocabulary of base words a speaker will be able to convey a large number of ideas very quickly and accurately.
Clear word definition.
Each word will only be allowed a single definition and as such will be able to stand entirely on its own. Also no compound words will be allowed as this leads to all sorts of confusion for people not inherently familiar with the language.
Simple grammer rules. Each verb will be defined in the present tense and will have a standard, single, way of being expressed for past and future tense. Adjectives will be defined at the lowest level of escalation with standard methods of escalating each word.
No singular/plural distinctions.
We are and I am will operate on the same verb instead of is, are, am, was and were as is presently the case. It is already clear whether you are talking about a singular or plural situation and there is no need to add more possible confusion to the matter with different verbs for each situation.
