Abstract
It is a long journey of English from its non-existence to the international recognition. It is a journey of English from ‘Synthetic’ to ‘Analytic’. The journey was mainly to make it simple, suitable, and acceptable to the people of England and beyond. And to make itself so, English had to peel off its inflections. While in the Old English Period a word had to bear more than 20 inflected forms to cope with various grammatical issues such as number, gender, tense etc., the same word in the Modern English Period has only 4 or 5 forms, which can still be diminished. Moreover a lot of verbs, nouns and pronouns in the English corpora are still carrying some inflections which are creating problems for the ESL and/or EFL learners to learn English effectively. This paper will show these ‘unnecessary’ inflections, discuss their uselessness and propose the uninflected and simple corpora for better English.
