YT2095 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Oh good greif! it`s almost tempting to say that the next post that gets started off along or on the same lines, gets instantly trashed. else we`ll end up with a site that`s 50% good data and the rest as this post! LOL maybe if this put on the main page and made sticky for all to see, it`ll be less likely to occur AGAIN! )) as in Yes We DO KNOW about this,,, enough already!

iglak Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 there was another e-mail that went around a while ago about the english language that i never saw. it wasn't like this, it was about replacing the letters c (k s), qu (kw), x (ks z), ph (f), and things like that. and the farther down you read, the more letters are replaced to make a much easier language. can anyone find a link to anything like that?

NSX Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I was just thinking. Maybe this is b/c of all the notes we take, and how it looks atrocious. I think teachers teaching primary grades would have this skill best since...welll...writing is barely legible haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
