English spelling is very consistent. You know I before E except after C or in any word like Height or Weight or .....

In school we had to do a book review on a book of proper English - I thought the author was George Bernard Shaw but I cannot find it in his listed works.

The author gave many examples of PROPER English spelling and the one I always liked best was fish, in proper English spelling, is ghot

• GH is the F sound in many words like enough
• O is the I sound in words like women
• T is the SH sound in words like station.

Therefore either I (or O from the example above) for the first letter of Inshitification is perfectly correct.

If "ineffective" means not able to produce positive results, and "incommunicado" means unable to communicate, why does "inflammable" mean particularly volatile?

Meanwhile I'm continually annoyed by people who pronounce restaurateur as "restauranteur". There is no "N" in restaurateur!!!!

Boy, do I have egg on my face.

That would be oeuf sur le visage.
We recommend champagne or a good sauvingnon blanc with that.

There's a lot AI ads using digital homunculi. Computer code telling us "their" "relatives" love a product. Non existing healthcare providers extolling the virtues of their eSnakeoil. I'd love to see disclaimers on these ads. Similar to "actor portrayal" on TV ads.

Agree with the concept - here in Aus we do not even get the "actor portrayal" on TV ads.

Not really: the "sh" in station is more due to the use of t and i. So 'fish' should really be "ghoti".

Meanwhile AI needs a better meaning; I do like the sentiment of "inshitification" but as Thumpalumpacus rightly points out, it really needs to begin with the letter e. We need to come up with something that aptly describes our total disgust and anger at what it means. Sadly 'excrement' also doesn't begin with an i.

Let us keep inshitification until someone comes up with something better and put the spelling down to different rules in different countries (and sometime even differences within the same country) like through and thru are different spellings for the same word or like new and nu are different pronunciations of the same word.

Or, if for breakfast, coffee with the spiritual additive of your choice.
