[Proposal] yonder → over there

[zhonglish]

This is a proposal to retire the word yonder in favor of over there.

Directional archaism. \”Wild blue yonder\” is its only surviving job.

Yonder is a word for a direction nobody needs a special word for. ‘Over there’ has three more letters but zero more confusion.

Wild blue yonder: good song lyric, bad word.
