As a alleged trial attorney why do you spell words like this?
I understand acronymns and using shortcuts but I've noticed that you
tend to do this a lot. I'm not saying you should use "intellectual jargon"
but I noticed when you spell words like "should" as shud, or in this
recent post "you" as "u."
Long b4 u arrived in this forum (WELCOME BACK)
I explained my sense of guilt concerning the fact that thru most
of my life, and obviously during my career in the legal profession,
I was complicit in preserving an atavistic throw-back which does
violence to sound reasoning and efficiency, to wit: the Germanic
remnants of non-fonetic spelling. In the days of Chaucer, those words
may well have been pronounced as thay were spelled, but not now.
I am offering a modest effort to show better ways to spell (fonetically)
than have been the current practice. I try to lead by example.
This is ez on the Internet. Of course, I must choose my audiences;
i.e., if I were to resume my practice of law, I 'd have to resume
paradigmatic spelling for so long as I do so, but not beyond.

I am in a state of retirement. My life in the legal profession
was another world. (I define a "world" as a sphere of consciousness.)

Other languages r more fully fonetic, e.g. Spanish.
We shud not put our children in an inferior position.
There is NO logical reason for an L to be in wud, cud nor shud.
It makes no sense to add the letters "ugh" to the word THO.

To my mind, it seems dull of wit to spell the word enuf
as enough, just because in earlier centuries, it was pronounced that way.

Differences of opinion have arisen in A2K, qua how best to spell fonetically.
I can understand differences of opinion; no surprize.
FOR SURE, I will not be the final authority on accurate fonetic spelling.
Some fonetic lexicografer will eventually write a new dictionary.

In the meantime, I do my best. I 'm not a fanatic about it,
and I let a lot of non-fonetic spelling go by; I dont wanna freak
everyone out by over-doing it too much.

Did u see my answer to your PM ?

@OmSigDAVID,
You didn't need to write 6 paragraphs all you could've said was you are a lazy speller.

No I have not giving her specific time. She did yet leave another "stipulation", that it has to be before 8. As i right now i have not giving her a specific time. She is absolutely horrible when it comes to sticking to plans and times. I was planning to play it by ear (sorta) and give her a time based on what she is doing tomorrow.

So we have a pending meeting for Sunday. I did not give her a exact time. Here is why she has never been good at sticking to times ever. I feel like giving her a exact time right now will be almost pointless. However, tomorrow i will contact her a few hours ahead to see where we/she stands at. The stipulation (on top of the other ones) that she added it has to be before 8pm. I will update this for those that are interested. I will also contact her tonight and remind her that I will be stopping by on Sunday.

@axpert,
So you expect her to sit around her house until you decide to call/show up.

What is it with people who just say something vague like "I'll come by tomorrow"?

Do you not think anyone has a life of their own?

@chai2,
No, she rarely every leaves her house anyways. Giving her a specific time is probably pointless when dealing with her. In my 4+ years of knowing her she rarely sticks to times any ways. I am going to remind tonight that iam stopping by. I am also going to call tomorrow a few hours ahead of time. Sundays she usually does laundry and other mundane tasks. I am aiming to be there around 6pm, depending on what she is doing.

For those that are interested. Iam suppose to go up gave her a time of 530pm. Im about to start to get ready lets see if she backs out. There should be no reason as i had met all her little stipulations. Before 8pm, a confirmed time and date. I made it clear that i was going up and it was all confirmed by phone (no text) to avoid any possible excuses.

Sorry for the late update. Well i did manage to actually go to her house. However, as the other times(the 7-8 times i actually succeeded since Dec making it to her home ) she wasnt in the mood to be touched. This is yet another ongoing problem. Always seems to be not "feeling good" or not in the mood anytime i make any advances...This time it was her Sinuses...Thoughts are appreciated...
