Thought you might appreciate it, fong.
This thread reminds me of when I was in high school a million years ago on the Nth Coast. We had a Principal who was into spelling reform. If an english teacher was away he used to take the class and incurage us to spel evryfing as we sed it. He wrote in the school mag with the caption- the hed sez :roll: . After he'd taken the class the head of the english department would run in and say"forget everything you have just heard".
That was easy :D .
We allready forgot everything we heard in class anyway:lol:

Horses for courses.

Depends where you're doing it.

When reading these forums I tune out when I see full on text crap. Look at the BB's forum.... ?! Save it for the mobile.

But I do try to decifer Fong's ramblings.

Yeah... they WANT to...but they know I've always got that clubbie board lying around somewhere. And if that fails, well, I can always bring Tom with me.

English is the mongrel of human languages. No defined origins, borrows from everything it comes into contact with and adapts whenever it becomes necessary. It's a truly living language, which might not be as strong in certain aspects as others around the world, but is able to compensate by being so versatile and effective without unnecessary complications. It's sleek, streamlined and cut down to the parts that work. Language is the best and most important to ever happen to mankind, that's for sure.
