I found it curious how Wikipedia adapted middle school English as a whole new language. The had a feature (languages) but used it to rewrite articles in a different style.
Had the "hackers using features in unintended ways" feel to it.

FYI it's not uncommon to get for example news in simplified language for non-native speakers. And I think there's a version of Chinese that uses Latin alphabet, so indeed some languages are just "dumbed-down" versions of the real thing!
