This idea of the latin-ization of the English language is much older than this website or name "Anglish". I read a satirical essay on this from a prominent author. The central premise is that words of latin origin are mechanical and devoid of emotion, and the latin-ization of English, while increasing precision, destroys the deeper meanings of it. Example of true english vs latin-ized word is eat vs ingest. There were parts of the essay written using only latin-ized words where even though it's technically English it becomes unintelligible and boring.
