While Flyertalk accepts postings in any language, the default
seems to be English. Many cities, states and private
organizations are declaring English their official language.
However, there is some resistance from Arturo and states such as New Jersey
where it is thought that English spelling is unnecessarily
difficult. A multi-year phased program is proposed to implement
needed changes.
In the first year, Flyertalk might suggest using 's'
instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities
would resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be
replased by 'k', sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not
only would this klear up konfusion in the minds of klerikal
workers at Amerikan and Air Kanada, but keyboards kould be made with one less
letter.
There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it
is announsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be
written 'f'. This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty
persent shorter on the skrean.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan
be expekted to reatsh the stage where more komplikated tshanges
are possible. We would enkourage the removal of double letters
whitsh have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. We would
al agre that the horible mes of silent e's in the languag is
disgrasful. Therfor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read
and writ as though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be
four years sins the skem began and peopl would be reseptiv to
steps sutsh as replasing 'th' by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion
of 'w' kould be takn on by 'v', vitsh is, after al, half a 'w'.
Shortly after zis, ze unesesary 'o' kould be dropd from vords
kontaining 'ou'. Similar arguments vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters.
Kotinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud evntuli hav a
