Talk:English Spellings

Not a bad thought this leaf, good to get some talk anent spelling.

There are many spellings we could have, but why not keep it as near as Old English (the last time a spelling was designed by Englishmen) as we can?

In my eyes, the following:

Ðe þåtful mæn kåt his waif a kwik ænd kunning grey fisch.

would become something like:

Þe þohtful man coht his wýf a cwic and cuning gré fish.

This is not a last and whole proposal, but it is more like what I think we ought to have. But, as with words, we could also have a free approach to spelling, and let anything halfway acceptable stand. Oswax Scolere 17:56, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
