There are 42 different sounds in the English language, yet we have only 26 letters!To sit there unmoved is EXACTLY LIKE wanting the Bible to stay written in Latin only. I’m surprised some of you are even saved!This not only makes it more difficult, I think, for the illiterate to learn the English language (since they have to decode what way this or that letter or combination is supposed to sound), but it makes it difficult, I would think, for foreigners to speak English.
I walked about 1900 miles on the AT. I listened to tapes on Spanish to learn the language. Some of it actually made sense and was simple, but I learned to greet someone and count to 100. Now I have forgotten that.I can understand how frustrated someone would be learning English. As a matter of fact I wish I could speak and write it correctly. MY WIFE KNOWS EVERY RULE AND TENSE. It looks like as many times as I have been corrected I would know it, BUT I DON’T……Are you saying someone can fix ENGLISH? I hope so. Ain’t no sense in ’em tenses and stuff as long as someone knows what you said. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

That will be Step Two.
What is your point? What do you want people to do? Change our languages lousy spelling system before Jesus comes back?
NO!Bad spelling, schmad schpelling. Bah!
I still do not know what your point is or what you want people to do with the English language before Jesus comes back.
Clearly, you are a serial killer.As for doing things the English way–NO WAY! They can’t even spell center–spelling it centre. They also drive on the wrong side of the road and put their steering wheels on the wrong side of the car. Further, they were the very ones that we had to defeat to become America!
Neither did the English help us when we were fighting against the British in the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812!

In the context of the 18th century, this comment makes no sense. They were helping themselves? OK, fine–maybe it was the British who were helping the English. I probably got it backwards because they drive backwards–or maybe it’s on the wrong side of the road. SEE? YOU’VE GOTTEN ME ALL CONFUSED BY ASKING QUESTIONS!

YOU’VE GOTTEN ME ALL CONFUSED BY ASKING QUESTIONS!I want you to publicly state–for the record, that you are not a serial killer–or even a non-serial killer. I’m on to you, and the only think keeping me safe is my pen name (my real name is…Nancy).
Just for the record, you both are certifiable!!!!The padded room is waiting! ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
A man who will make a pun will surely do any other dastardly thing.And another thing, consider that in hoity-toity English, the world CLARITY means the same things as the non-world CLEARITY.
