I am glad you said that this was an old joke. It is a good one, but not original.

If you have an interest in language or language efficiency why not write something of your own, and put it in here?

and by the way, that rule that someone put that says that spelling mistakes are okay to set the ambience and if it's part of the entry, that rule is pointless without this entry smiley - winkeye

I got a teatowel with this on for Xmas. Interestingly, dispite my terrible spelling I do find the latter part of it very difficult to read. I'm sure there is a moral to that somewhere.

Didn't the American Webster chappie make a sterling attempt to rationalise spelling, resulting in some changes (in Am English), although again it's interesting that just as many didn't make it. I think I saw an article in Peer reveiw about that recently. Anyway.

Huh, I wrote an article about that and put it in peer review recently. Odd that
