<Never understood why some have a problem Mike's spelling. It's just phonetic (with a NYC accent <gg>).> Given the complexity of English [and American] spelling, it's certainly not the last word in written communication. Maybe Mike and some frustrated dyxlexics will start a new written language which is is phonetic [I did see a joke simplification of English but don't know where it is now - it woz kwite funee]. Having English/American as the international lingua franca is a cruel joke on the 4 billion people who learn it as a second language. Trouble is, it's better than the alternatives. Esperanto is no good because it's new for both talking AND writing with a negligible base. MarginMike, how about starting a Noo Yawk society "Dyxlexics for fonetic freedum, fun, and fragmented fotons for fones". You might get the world writing a better language. Vodafone has made a start [funnily, many 'good' spellers wrongly correct their name to Vodaphone]. Of course, Noo Yawk is correctly pronounced New York and tomarto is not pronounced the same as potato so should be spelled tomarto. Mqurice [the dyxlexic computers in Belgium put a q where they should put an a due to having an AZERTY instead of QWERTY keyboard].
