Does anyone but me remember when some schools were attempting to teach a phonetic (fonetik) method of reading and writing the English language? This was about 1969 or so, and the idea was to break sounds into the simplest spellings, get rid of silent letters, do away with double letters, and so on. This was not being done as a teaching aid, but to actually change the language! Thankfully, the concept died a quiet death, but the kids who were taught that way for a year or two found they couldn't read regular English very well. The writing ended up looking a lot like today's texting language, and every bit as unreadable.
I share also a pet peeve with Warmskin. People, PLEASE!! Punctuation is FREE! Please use some!!!!
Thanks for allowing me to rant, There, I feel better now!
I'm sure I think I said what I probably meant, but maybe not.
