Ahhh, well, plans with
justamy fell through... i'm going to be getting into town too late because they were so late having my load ready last night.... que sera seraAny of you who have rummaged around my pitiful excuse for a website may have seen this, or you may have seen it somewhere else before, but I've always found it to be rather amusing.
by Mark Twain
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all. Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz

when i was in berkeley CA i got to stand inches away from actual letters written by Mark Twain.... they were so sloppy i couldn't make most of the words out but STILL. I thought I'd faint I was so ecstatic.
When i went to nebraska i got to drive through his hometown. i have a t-shirt of Twain with the quote about naked people having little to no influence over society.. Aww, who doesn't love him? One of my favorite classic authors.
