I think da_chief's spelling is ahead of his time: The European Union commissioners announced today that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language standard for European communications, rather than German, which was the other option. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short). In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replased with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go. By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by z" and "w" by v. During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru!

<<I also heard 9/22 for startup of Hanil...>> Well, I'm glad you are so knowledgeable of Hanil's production plans, mooter. Too bad you didn't let the rest of us in on the real plans when Hanil announced they had already begun production 10 months ago. etnews.co.kr\|07 BTW, I think the newspapers then were dated November.

What is most potentially manipulative about your propensity to forecast events and float rumors is the implication that your source(s) are reliable one(s). You would invite less skepticism and diminish the potential for manipulating others if you just refrained from predicting material events based on what you "heard." Less helpful but at minimum, identify the nature of your source so others can evaluate the reliability of it. You alleged today that it was a broker who told you the 22nd. Identifying that key fact would reduce, but not eliminate, the potential for manipulation by someone with conflicting interests. It makes clear that your "information" is not so reliable.
