What exactly is the point of just saying something you don’t understand? That’s what our great-grandmothers and grandmothers did, but if it’s just for saying, then why not make it accessible so the one’s saying it can understand it. Because people don’t understand it, they just rush through it, or say it at a pace that would be difficult for a person to even understand English at that rate. What’s more, why were these institutionalized knowing that people don’t understand it?
