From: Rick McGeer (on an aaa-60-s) <mcgeer%ucbkim@Berkeley> A recent correspondent has pointed out that any changes in the spelling of English words would damage the lyrical qualities of the language. I agree. Why, the mere thought of changing the written language gives me the hiccoughs. It's easy to shew that the traditional spellings are full of colour, while proposed modifications are dull and grey. Indeed, anyone who proposes any change in spelling should go to the language centre of his choice. :-) Rick
