I think it will be a googol years before there's a spelling reform if humans make it that far.

We'll be traveling to other universes before spelling reform ever hapunz beekuz speling reform iz verree unlikely.

That's the INGLISH.

I think we should replace ''y'' with ''i'' wherever it doesn't say [j] as in ''yes'' but not happy.

Whi does ''y'' haftoo be a vowel when it should say [j].

why-whi
happy-happi

None will ever happen.

That's the English. Accept it how it is.

What's so funny about my language?

Jim, Joe, and Smith are bad at reforming English. Here's something better.

They saw the dog at the shop yesterday where their father father worked and wanted to buy something yesterday.

Thae sah thu dog at thu shop yesturday wer ther fother wurkt and wuntid too bie sumthing yesterday.

Isn't this much better than Jims, Smiths, or Joes Ideas.

Oh, About ''grand prix''. It would become ''grand pree'' because it's pronounced [gr@nd pri:].
Jim   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 19:48 GMT
I'm going to respell it ''gron pree''. Is anyone happi with that? Who's happi with that?
Jim   Saturday, April 24, 2004, 19:51 GMT
I think that all ''y's'' that don't say [j] should be replaced by ''i'' so in that way writing the post vocalic ''y'' is simple. Just write ''y''. ''rouille'' can be ''rooy'' or ''rooee''.

Probably Jim is right.

Silent e should be eliminated from this language.

cake could be / keik / or / kaik /. Guess who.

ours / arz /, / aurz /, / aorz /, / oorz /. Guess who.

flower and flour

hour and our...

mouse, in pl. mice

What's happened with "house"? Not "house" in pl. "hice". It's "houses" in pl.

What a crazy language!

goose, in pl. geese, but ''moose'', in pl. ''moose''.

Sir, if you change the English spelling, then who will speak English?

English is a language with no remedy.

Sorry if I'm not thinking what you are thinking.
