If you are referring to my post, I assure you that I have nothing against hillbillies. But I believe you are underestimating the importance of language and the fundamental structure it represents. Language represents the parameters by which human beings communicate with each other. It is the most primary basis for society (other than sex/reproduction)
Language is a powerfull force. Why do you think many of the most respected men in history (both good and evil) were great orators? Why do you think people are so fascinated by bogus products despite the fact that they NEVER work? It's because the commercial smoothe-talk and product placement put people in a hypnotic state where logic and common sense get thrown out the window.
In today's world of global media, then pen really is mightier than the sword. You don't need to battle nations if you can talk them into fighting for you, rather than against you.
You don't have to care about the specifics of language. But in my opinion, it is to your own detriment.
Cheers.
