Phony Phoenicians phonetic phone.

As a sign language user, I had to go through speech therapy in secondary school. It was a struggle because I kept thinking how the language in English is shaped by phonetics, and all the words looked and sounded the same, thereby casting a spell on people (spelling is called spelling for a reason). Sign language users have been heavily targeted by the Phoenicians throughout the ages because their spells wouldn’t work on us, and we have a gift to give to you which is sign language, breaking their spell.

Subscribed (though there is a hidden meaning within that word) :)

Keeping of secrets was connected to Mithraism in the militaries. Mitra was the Vedic god of contracts. Mithra was the later Zoroastrian god of the covenant, and right hand man of Ahura Mazda (the one god) who went ape shit on anyone who broke an oath. Secret Societies abuse the oath in the same sense of Terms of Service, leaving initiates stuck in a system where they rightfully fear unwinding a false oath.
