New and something I notice about English
Except for the emphasized syllabal and any final vowel, the the vowel sounds are rather de-emphasized (at least to my ears). ("Long vowels" may be exceptions.)

Thus, you could have emphusized, emphisized, emphosized, emphusized, etc., and most people would pronounce them the same under *normal* speach. Thus, perhaps we should have a generic vowel:

pr*nounced

emph*sized

moos*l*ni.....well, okay, moos*lini.

Anybody with me to overhaul English? I like to FIX stupid things instead of live with them. Well, except for Windows :-)

New so you are in favor of eubonics? :)
many teachers are, teachers in SOFLA are convinced that whole language where spelling doesnt matter so you are not alone. However since I consider my posts visual speech I rarely check spelling or punctuation. If I was submitting a document instead I would check both.
thanx,

Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp. We are raising a nation of slaves.

>> many teachers are, teachers in SOFLA are convinced that whole language where spelling doesnt matter so you are not alone. <<

I am saying spelling wouldn't *have to* matter if we went with a purely phonetic system. There are no spelling bees in Spanish speaking countries because you don't need them.

(This is off-topic, but where should it be moved?)

the Canadian Italian leader of the Antlerist party.

And when you see his brown shirted quadropeds marching in from the North Woods, you put down the bong and run!
