I like this game! Let me play.

Inasmuch as not fully isomorphic orthographies are functionally and 
intrinsically user-hostile and self-limiting there is no virtue to using 
them.

All alphabetic writing systems to date are popular because of the herd 
mentality.

Hmm, let's play another one.

Inasmuch as alternate current transport is wasteful, there is no virtue to 
using it.

AC is popular because of the herd mentality.

I could play this game all evening.

But I have more productive things to do.
