That one bugs me, but someone was just probably reading Twain
and on the positive side
a.. "A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling: For example, in Year 1
that useless letter 'c' would be dropped to be replased either by 'k' or
's', and likewise 'x' would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase
in which 'c' would be retained would be the 'ch' formation, which will be
dealt with later. Year 2 might reform 'w' spelling, so that 'which' and
'one' would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish 'y'
replasing it with 'i' and Iear 4 might fiks the 'g/j' anomali wonse and for
all. Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear
5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing
vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it
wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez 'c', 'y' and 'x' --
bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais 'ch',
'sh', and 'th' rispektivli. Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl
riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe
Ingliy-spiking werld." -- I don't see the point of spelling a word correctly, and I never did."
