The propa way to spel

What is convenient and specific, for others it is inconvenient and unspecific.

That's why God doesn't send his son to the earth.

Learn English.

Learn to be respectful.

Just buy a course called Hooked on Phonics.

I think you've never heard somebody speaks English.

I don't need your comments.

I do know English.

No fools as [fuulz]. I would'nt understand your English. For Joe, Smith, and
someone else, except Willy who is great.
Willy   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 06:32 GMT
To: Joe, Steve, or Smith

I don't think /foot/ should be pronounced /fwaut/. I do think /foot/ is
pronounced /fwaut/. Again I say to you all please learn English. Native
English speakers do pronounce /fu:-'o:t/ instead of /fu:t/ or /'fo:-o:t/

boot for /boot/, not /but/ What about "butt"?
book for /boo-'aw k/, not /buuk/ or /boo-'ah k/ American English dialect?

Please don't write saying that British change "ar" for "ah". They are the only
speakers to change it how they want to.

ESOL opinion makes no sense, right Willy?

What does Smith pronounce "bitch"?

Probably he says "beach", but really we say ---bíech--- NOT---bich.
Smith   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 12:16 GMT
The Smith that typed this, ''I don't speak, but I write. I NO INGLISH AZ jOe.'' is a faker. When do I ever capitalize all the letters in a sentence? Do I ever do that? When do I ever put a capital letter in the beginning of a name?
Smith   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 12:18 GMT
''When do I ever put a capital letter in the beginning of a name?''

I meant

''When do I ever put a capital letter in the middle of a name?''

''gaol/jail-jale

Quote-''What was wrong with "jail"? Are you respelling "ail" as "ale", "nail" as "nale", "tail" as "tale", "mail" as "male", "pail" as "pale", "trail" as "trale", "bail" as "bale", "hail" as "hale", "Grail" as "Grale", "rail" as "rale", "fail" as "fale", etc.?''

No, I'm not. If I was a lot of them would produce homographs. ''ale'', ''tale'', ''male'', ''pale'', and ''hale'' are already words with different meanings. So, ''jail'' is fine just throw out ''gaol''.
Joe   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 15:41 GMT
Why don't we get rid of that ''I'' before ''e'' except after ''c'' rule. And just replace them with ''ee''. ''Weird'' breaks that rule because it's a weird word.

Bill   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 16:12 GMT
Jim, ''till'' and '' 'til '' are clipped forms of ''until''. If not then where did they come from and why do they look like they're short for ''until''? If they're not then does that mean that also ''phone'', ''bus'', ''plane'', ''piano'', ''cello'', ''math'', ''cab'', etc. are not clipped forms of ''telephone'', ''airplane'', ''pianoforte'', ''violoncello'', ''mathematics'' and ''taxicab''.

''Till'' and 'til are short for ''until''.

What about writing the name saying vowel sounds as â, ê, î, ô, and û, ê, î, ô, and û?

And similarly writing ''oo'' as ''ôô''.

Joe   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 18:18 GMT
Smith, you I do ever put a capital letter in the middle of a name, liar.

I would annoy if you put jOe. Where did you learn English? In Russia?
Smith   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 18:24 GMT
I doubt that's the real Joe. The Joe that made those word lists. I think it's someone faking Joe. Person faking Joe, I'm not a liar. I know where to put my capitals. Notice, that I wrote ''Joe'' and not ''jOe'' in my sentences.
Joe   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 18:30 GMT
I am the real Joe. I'm not a faker as you are. Excuse me! What did you just
say?


Say in in English, mad.
Jim   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 18:41 GMT
I think I make very good reforms. Ie doen't need enneewun teling mee that mie reeformz ar shitee. I mayk guud reeformz. I think we should write [TH] as ''th'', [th] as ''thh'', [K] as ''kh'', [G] as ''gh'' etc. In my system [n:] is written as '' n' '' So, grand prix would become ''gron' pree.

Similarly I'll respell these.

Wut mie fother toeld thu kort he had wuntid wuz not too be kot withh u kort uv woter in thu kot uv hiz doter ol hidun uhwae in thu kart uv hiz bruther.

They went to see the grand prix and four lochs.

Thae went too see thu gron' pree and for lokhs.
