If you were to spell out the letters like you would write out numbers ...

That doesn't work, letters don't have spellings greater than themselves.

Looks like shorthand for

"Aaaaah, booked a week of flaming sex with GI Joe and a cop who's cute and very easy."

maybe.

if you had a filthy mind and a skill in procrastination

Merriam-Webster tells me only some letters have spelling representations, but at least I know what he was going for. Thanks.

Only phonetics joke I'm likely to make would be lamely obscure to anyone not mixing D&D and NATO... "After Oscar, we all shout out 'November!'"

Gravdigr · 04-22-2014, 12:56 PM

Shouldn't ya shout "Papa"?

Gravdigr · 04-22-2014, 01:00 PM

Also, 'phonetically' isn't spelled phonetically. Shit like that is why the aliens fly right by us.

The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c." Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik emthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like fotograf" 20 persent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v".

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
