Illegal

in showerthoughts •  6 years ago 

Can we please stop saying the word "Illegal" as an opposite to "Legal"?

It's just confusing

And opt instead for:

  • Alegal
  • Unlegal
  • Disleagal
  • Sublegal
  • Non-legal

In fact, can we just completely remove the "il" before "l" rule?

Look at this shit, say it out loud, then try and tell me that hasn't caused hundreds of thousands of confusions:
