Are you saying you genocided all your language pages because something may have looked "childish" to somebody???? That's a capital offense in CONLANG, you must restore them. Make a new lang and let the cannibals fight for their survival. Once you create something, it has a life of its own which the creator HAS TO RESPECT!
