Language Evolution and Standardization

Languages evolve through influences and borrowings from other languages, as seen in the French Academy's efforts to promote French words over borrowed English words. The attempt to standardize language can sometimes be met with resistance, as demonstrated by the retention of certain foreign words in everyday language usage. This resistance can be seen as a form of cultural preservation and defiance against imposing linguistic rules.

The notion of a parasitic singularity and the act of preparing language like clay to avoid it reflects the complexity of language evolution and standardization.
