Instead, they just say "Sorry, you're just not the type of person we're looking for" and leave them feeling frustrated, right..?

20,000 years coupled with the loss of technology—no.

Yeah, completely agree. Guess that's the case with Dune.

Thanks for the answer! I'll keep playing with the language. It's mainly "obviously English/French/Serbian/German" words but with altered spelling and missing syllables, so it feels more naturally evolved over a short amount of time rather than completely and utterly changed.

And we're talking about twenty thousand years?! Not a single shred of the language should be recognizable.

While I don't know Dune specifically, surely heavy preservation efforts (plus globalisation) would prevent a dominant language from deviating too much, even over a great amount of time?

I ask as I'm attempting to construct a language in a sci fi, albeit set only 600 years in the future, where dominant European languages have slowly been perverted due to a disconnect of new planetary colonies with Earth.

What would you recommend for a vulva owner who finds that as they approach "the edge" it gets "too much" and they can't will themselves to continue? Up until that point they enjoy it, though...

From a town in South Somerset. They're called "billy bakers" here. Not sure why...
