I believe it can, and should, evolve from real use.

I haven't learned enough about the differences between these. I hope
you are correct. It will definitely help if people posting in
non-English languages identify which language they are using--in a way
that people who don't know their language can quickly identify it.

I found it difficult to write about Glosa mechanics in Glosa. If we
are going to try to do that, we will probably need to build up a large
vocabulary of specific linguistic terms. Those terms would be critical
for us to discuss the language, but would not need to be part of the
basic language itself. Glosa didn't really have enough linguistic terms.
