As this is a proposal to maintain a language's grammar and words I find its grammarical mistakes alone reason not to vote for this.

Just a fewf examples:

"Migration" should be "migration".

"increasing" should be "addition"

A true humdinger - "which permits too much foreign influences on the icelanic language too keep it original " which from context I beleive should read - "which prohibits excessive foreign language encroachment on teh Iclandic language to keep it in its original condition" . Many of my changes are optional, however, not capitalizing "icelandic", using "too" where "to" belongs, screwing up the meaning by saying "permits" rather than "prohibits" are not. Iit is simply incorrect use of the English language.

In article 1 (one) "countries" should be "country's".

In article 3 (three) "Too guarantee" should be "To guarentee".

I am sure there are more but I think this is enough to make my point.

Please pardon me if this was meant as a joke.

The errors are somewhat ironic, I know, but I don't think you need to be worried about it reaching quorum.

While scanning through the body of proposals, I am constantly dismayed at the poor grammar and spelling skills that are frequently displayed. It'd be understandable if many of these proposals are written by those who speak English as a second language. The sheer number of proposals written suggests to me that the majority of people writing them have English as their primary language. I find this disturbing. This says some disappointing things about the state of our schools.
