[net.nlang] Phonetic spelling isn"t practica

brennan@iuvax.UUCP (11/10/84)

I couldn't agree less!  The penalty for mispelling can be
quite severe.  Just try mispelling a few words on your resume
and see how many job offers you get.  Try the same thing
in a letter to a prospective buyer and how many sales you
make.  I'm all for spelling reform.  I use 'thru' for 'through'
quite often, but never in an important document.
