Rīta kafiju lasot, kaut kādās domu spirālēs atcerējos Marka Tvena plānu, kā vienkāršot angļu valodas rakstību.
________
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.

Kāpēc es to ierakstīju? Lūk, priekšpēdējā rindiņā Marks Tvens bija nonācis līdz pilnīgi parastai latviešu valodas rakstībai - kā dzirdu, tā rakstu. Interesanti, vai amerikānim Tvenam maz bija nojausma par latviešu valodas eksistenci un tās rakstību, jo diez vai viņš ietusēja ar Valdemāru, Kronvaldu vai Raini?
[Toties pēdējā teikumā es ieperināju 3 "vai", katru ar savu nozīmi.
Labi, labi, viens ir "diez vai", bet tik un tā smieklīgi.]
