@emshae,
Not all kids type in short hand. Only those who are lazy, and one other adult I can name, but I don't think he does it out of laziness.

I was commenting on how the Pentagon (US military headquarters in Washington) uses shorthand typing.
Like the word captain used to be "capt."; thay later shortened it to "cpt".
If u don 't already know what the abbreviations stand for,
its impossible to read their writing.

I am trying to lead by example
( my little modest effort ) to show easier, shorter FONETIC ways of spelling.
Fonetic spelling (spelling the way the word sounds when u say it)
is more logical that pronouncing it as English was spoken centuries ago,
when it was still closer to its German origins.

Therefore, I argue that the dictionary is mistaken to spell
the word ENUF as "enough", and it is rong
to spell the word THO as "thoUGH"because those last 3 letters do no good at all. We need to dump them.
The word THAY has a long A in it, so we shoud not write it: "they".

It is dum n stupid to spell an F sound as "PH"
as in "philosophy" it shoud be FILOSOFY.
There is no reward from our spelling the long, slow way all our lives
and then tell our children to keep making those mistakes all of their lives too.

Spelling non-foneticly is an offense against sound reasoning.


About 100 years ago, President Teddy Roosevelt tried to improve
spelling that way (foneticly), but Congress stopped him.

I am a retired trial attorney; I retired from the practice of law in 1986.
Thru my career, I spelled like everyone else and I corrected
my secretaries when thay spelled incorrectly
(this was before computers with spell check; we used typewriters).

Now, looking back, I feel guilty for perpetuating
the mistakes of spelling (the way that thay r in the dictionary)
by having used that spelling.

Congratulations, Em!
My best advice is: don 't expect perfection.

@emshae,
Keep this in mind, Em:
people have lots n lots of flaws.
That is how people in general are made.
The better u get to know people
the more u find out about their flaws that annoy u.
If u expect that to happen,
then it will not be so much of a nasty shock when it does.
