I am in the printer toner business. Your attempts to make fewer letters in words will dry up our business. Expect an assassination to follow shortly.
We cannot risk the possibility you will succeed.

> I take this very seriously because you are right! It will save about 10% of the ink we now waste, and the paper too, and trees, a forest the size of Manhattan Island every year. (Uh oh, here come the lumberjacks!) One of the reasons we got pointless e's on the end of a lot of words was that the Flemish printers we used didn't speak much English but did get paid the total type they set. So they just added e's wherever they could get away with it.
But you're assassins will never take me alive!
