A plan for the improvement of spelling in the English language
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.
Generally, 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 rimeiniing 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 ov ould doderez —tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivili.
Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev alojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.

What should we do with "the" alphabet? Make another letter to confuse everybody.....and not explain it or what it sounds like or does. There.

Personally, I'm against the alphabet. It's chauvinistic and demeans women. i prefer a language based entirely on eye movements, creamed corn and lit torches.

I like to ask myslef "What Would Baby-Jesus Do?" ...and when I'm pretty sure he would cry, I know I'm on the right path.

I expect Jesus hasn't stopped crying since he was used as a tree decoration.
