some people were trying more than hundred years ago. Esperanto had a dream of being a simple universal language. It failed.

It may be a good idea, but like communism, it just does not work in practice. it remains a utopia.

Well, by the same reasoning as thay already
created a uniform financial currency,
thay will choose to eliminate linguistic interferences and inconveniences;
it may be sooner; it may be later.
It will BE

I know that,

as long as ATTENTION is attracted to the problem,
and it is not just ignored and forgotten.

In fact, very very few.
I'm afraid you're on your own there in your crusade for easy spelling, David.

If I never existed,
fonetic spelling wud replace the bad old paradime.
People grow tired of useless burdens.
I try to help by showing easier n faster ways to spell.

Spelling is one of them.
When you say things like "thay" and "wud" it takes awhile to translate your posts into english...

Yeah, but once u 've got the idea ( as u DO ), its easy.








Quote:
hence after awhile it becomes too tedious and just not worth the effort. of course,

the choice is yours.

I know.
I made the choice: I WANNA HELP !









Quote:
i'm just saying that rather than being more comprehensible, your posts are far less comprehensible to me than those that use correct spelling.

1 ) I know that 's not true, because u DO respond to me.

2 ) One of those NORMS is capitalizing the 1st letter of a sentence.







" The goat was happy. So happy she didn't know what to do with herself.
So she went and got herself ice skates and went dancing on ice.
She was flying about here and there, all giddy.

Then she fell and broke her neck and died. ~Slovak fable ";
i.e., the goat was happy for the rest of her life.

it's that the pronounciation is wrong. germans, slovaks, poles...they got it right. everything is phonetical. "U" indeed does have an "oo" sound. In Slovak she would be "bumerang. You english speaking people got it all wrong: and that i would transcribe as: "ju inglis spiking pipl gat it ol rong."

would anyone understand me? no. therefore i will not do it on a regular basis. cause that would be idiotic of me.

That is best left to the natives.
It is a more advanced form of linguistic usage.

What is your native language ?

One of the problems with attempting to implement phonetic spelling in English is that there aren't enough characters in the alphabet to represent all of the possible sounds in the English language. There are about fifteen vowel sounds in the dialects of American English alone. You'd have to use something like the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) or a respelling system like those used in dictionaries to represent all of the possible sounds in the language.
