"You can't just add symbols to a book willy-nilly. It would bring about total anarchy, a dissolution of our linguistic foundations, if anybody who got a notion into his mind could just add symbols and claim that it is only his 'grammatical idiosyncrasy.' If I allow this, I must allow all individuals within my populous [sic] to add symbols at a whim, which I cannot do. Obviously, this is not practical. How would it work? Would a dictionary's author, at that point, just add symbol upon symbol, thus adding word upon word, just to satisfy Ovid's push toward linguistic innovation?" --Phong Nguyen, Roundabout (2020)
