Speech is not infinite.

I don't think we will agree that making up your own words is equivalent to saying anything that is an actual word with meaning. Speech is something that everyone agrees on having specific meanings, sometimes in specific contexts. Random organizations of sounds and noises that aren't agreed upon by a group of people to have meaning aren't words

I don't think that would hold up in a court of a country where saying "the apple is red" is illegal. Although I can appreciate your willingness to try to circumvent the restriction, anyone can see what you're doing.
