Can you please pick one way to spell and stick with it? This flip-flopping is giving me a headache.
Shud "foot" not be spelled "fut"?
That did not occur to me, DD.
I am
very liberally inconsistent about my use of fonetic spelling,
like recently I wrote "triumf" in some spirited debate,
but it struck me that it woud weird people out too much,
in the middle of said energetic debate, so I edited myself
and put back the paradigmatic way of "triumph",
tho I semi-detest using "ph" to spell f.
In my use of fonetic spelling, I try to be reasonably recognizable
in my deviations, and not to pack too many of them closely together, so as not to freak everybody out.
If I write
U instead of
YOU, I guess thay can probably figure that out, painlessly.
Eventually, a respected, definitive fonetic dictionary
will be written, but we all know that I will not be the one to write it.
Until then, I can enjoy unlimited freedom of imagination.
