Nice example for borrowings! I was thinking about this in the context of learning a new language.

Imho schools put way too much emphasis on the grammar vs the vocabulary. At least that's what I experienced in three different countries, where you would learn 4 different past tenses but not be able to use any of it because you're missing the vocabulary.

Being able to say "Where restaurant/hospital/train station?" is much more helpful than being able to just say "Where is the restaurant?". So I guess my argument applies to learning new languages, where I think vocabulary is the more decisive factor but I agree that in it's essence a languages grammar counts more.

I get the analogy but don't agree with the reasoning. Or maybe it depends on the circumstance. But for foreign languages I would suggest it's the other way round: The fur (grammar/prononciation) might look (sound) nice, but it's the vocabulary that bring the actual meaning to whatever you say.

Did you author any other standards and how high is the chance of a proposal being approved if you don't have any accepted proposal yet?
