"Well, this would certainly qualify as a hafazard theory...."
I bow to your skills. I think your post makes an excellent end to this thread.
BTW, have you been to the link? Most amusing, indeed.
I've always wondered, though, why anyone who thought they had something serious to say would choose to place a website on geocities.

...the Romans, suffered from a plethora of orthografic misrepresentations. ......Nor was there a letter f, despite the presence of a need to furnish the sound now represented by it, ....... The letter f entered the English language from the Germanic side of its origins, Wrong.

That poem was a quote from a previous message. It in no way represents my philosophy. Please read messages more carefully.

I am unaware that there is ANY government involvement in the development of spelling rules. Theodore Roosevelt once tried to introduce a 'simplified spelling', and for a period it was used in government correspondence.
Even he couldn't get it to catch on.

It appears to me that the original (well, maybe not so) poster has fled the arena, taking his single orthographic change with him in his back pocket.

Please accept my apology! I intended the reply for the original poster of the poem. After reading the thread, I went back. And, on seeing the poem, I clicked too quick.

Thanks for the link. Roosevelt's biographers describe him as having had a squeaky voice, but in the mp3 he sounds rather normal (albeit with an upper-class northeast accent).

Theodore Roosevelt once tried to introduce a 'simplified spelling', and for a period it was used in government correspondence. Even he couldn't get it to catch on.
His exec. order to the printing office to use "simplified spelling" lasted about a week. It was ridiculed.
At least TR had a sense of humour about it... As part of a naval parade the President reviewed, journalists pasted a huge sign on their boat that read, "PRES BOT" -- TR thought it was hilarious.

Have you ever considered that you ought to focus your mental energy on something a bit more useful than promoting the extinction of "ph"?
To: Petronski
Ghoti spells fish if one pronounces gh as in enough, o as in women and ti as in motion.Not if you use the usual rules of English orthography and pronunciation. "Gh" is never pronounced as an "f" at the beginning of a syllable. "O" is only pronunced as a short "i" in a single word "women" and nowhere else. "Ti" is never pronunced as an sh; "tion" may get the pronuciation "shun."
