ookiimarukochan posted:Japanese (Kanji) That's true, but spelling is a self-inflicted own. Grammar rules are much harder to change than spelling rules. Even a new spelling that would somehow be miraculously accepted by all major English language institutions, publishers and professionals would still face significant obstacles because of English's widespread pluricentricity. For instance, you could do something like make the vowel in 'father' be spelled 'ah' and the vowel in 'force' be 'oh', but how would you spell 'wall'? In AmE it'd be 'wahl', but not in BrE, where it'd be 'wohl'. Barring some catastrophe, English missed the window of opportunity on spelling optimization a long time ago. E.g. Dutch, French and German are no less pluricentric than English, but their pluricentricity became more tolerated after the spelling had already undergone waves of standardization and optimization. Though I suppose it also plays a role that Dutch, French and German have no co-equally influential cultural core like English does with Britain and the US.

In the book, I'm pretty sure it actually is a different planet. So that's a good point

In the book the titular "planet of the apes" is a separate planet which the main character escapes and returns to Earth to find out that in his absence apes have taken over. The book has a bookend thing where it was a manuscript an unnamed character found floating in space and at the end the unnamed reader is revealed to also be an ape.

It's very clearly explained that some maniacs blew it up. We can conclude that the explosion was so powerful, it propelled the statue all the way to a different planet. As to why, well, maniacs don't really need a reason, do they?

The book has a bookend thing where it was a manuscript an unnamed character found floating in space and at the end the unnamed reader is revealed to also be an ape. Specifically the story of the planet they travel to is that it used to be like earth until humans trained apes to be a slave race, but became so lazy that they regressed and the apes took over. Then they when they travel back to earth (thanks to a drastic misunderstanding of time dilation and inertial frames and poo poo on the part of the author) hundreds of years have passed and the same thing has happened there. So the whole "it was earth all along" reveal in the movie fits with the book, it's just a narratively more concise way of doing the same thing.

One of the rare times in which the movie was better than the book.
