As Jeff perused the options, one of them caught his eye. It was simply titled "language." Jeff decided to check it out, and after clicking on it, he saw a drop-down bar which was currently set to "English." The page also had a wide variety of adjustable stats, like "average words per sentence: 18," "mandatory rhyming scheme: none," and "punctuation requirement: variable." One option in particular caught Jeff's attention: "add/delete words."
Deciding it might be interesting to try, Jeff wondered what the weirdest word to delete would be. What would have the biggest effect on the English language? Snickering to himself, Jeff typed in his selection, and hit "delete."
He felt a tingling in his head as the change took effect. "Did Chronivac work? Wait." Jeff laughed, as he realized it must have. "Quick brown fox jumps over lazy dog," Jeff said, and laughed again. He then went to read some news articles online, and was amazed to see that he had actually deleted the word "the" from the English language!
"It's interesting that I'm still aware of word though. Can I still say it? 'Thuh.' 'Thi?' 'Tuhee?'" Jeff knew he was mispronouncing the word, but he couldn't seem to say it properly. It was like it belonged to another language. Which it did, technically. Deciding to mess up English further, Jeff considered his options. He figured it'd be funny if everyone talked like a caveman, so he deleted "I," "me," "my," "he/him/his," and "she/her/hers."
The tingle ran through his head again. "Jeff wonder if change happened," he said, and immediately busted up laughing. At the same time, he heard the door open downstairs, and his mother's voice rang out.
"Jeff! Can you help Mom with groceries?"
"Sure Mom, Jeff'll be down there in a second!" he said, still laughing. Deciding to make things even more caveman-sounding, Jeff deleted all words with more than one syllable.
"Please be quick, food bags are heavy! Mom can't bring them to house just with her arms!" Jeff's mom shouted.
"Right, Jeff will be there soon!" he replied. "Change box do fun stuff, Jeff will have to mess with it more when Mom does not need help," he said, as he hustled downstairs.
