And no, we don't need to rehash whatever they were.
Particularly not the post about my mom.

God, the thread's gone and been deleted in the time it took me to compose my genius post to it. Shucks.

Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer!

I'd have to say that drama queen flame out is somewhere in the top 50.

"I'll gever fornet the time I not the 'g' key cogfused with the 'n' key. Boy, did I feel stupid. Especially seeign how I was postign about noonle. That's easily gumber gigeteeg."

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 ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.
