Repeatedly suggesting people who don't agree with you have
mental disorders does not advance your case and is not
appreciated here.
Metathesiophobia is not a mental disorder, it's a phobia. There's
quite a bit of distinction there.
Specifically it's an ungrounded fear or dislike of change. It's
altogether not uncommon, actually.
A more productive way forward is for you (and those who agree
with you) to prepare a formal DIP and submit it. It's the way
significant language change proposals are done.
That was sort of the initial intent of this thread. To test the
waters and see if the idea would have support.
But it seems the community is extremely torn on the matter.
