Hi Bjorn, I'm new to the Folkspraak group, having discovered it during a search for Conlangs, or invented languages. So I am not able to converse in...
Hi Andrew, Welcome to the list! :-) Simplified Spelling sounds interesting. I have found http://www.spellingsociety.org/index.php but no texts written in...
Hello, Stephan. The Simplified Spelling Society is at http://www.spellingsociety.org/ and I have forwarded their first and only correspondence with me,...
Hi Andrew, I checked this site, but I don't understand why it is so hard to find examples there of simplified spelling. The site itself seems to be in regular...
Welkom, Andrew! English spelling is far from perfect, that's quite true, but I don't think it's as bad as some people make out. It's not as neat and tidy as...

I agree with you, but in some cases I simply disagree. There are rules: so-so. Why can't "ghoti" be pronounced like "fish"? "gh" is only pronounced as "f" at...
What about this. Add a consonant and change the pronunciation of a vowel and of a cluster of 2 consonants: tough => though => through. ... [Non-text portions...
All good points. It always bemuses me that an aim of FS is to make FS without diacritical letters, using just the 26 letter basic roman alphabet. Of the German...
It would be better if it would be like that. Imagine if "pour" would rhyme with "flour". So, pour = power flour = flower ... [Non-text portions of this message...

... off the top of my head, I would think it is silent after a long/stessed vowel, and 'f' after a short/unstressed vowel. Seems to work for enough, cough,...
English spelling seems to be a hot topic, even it is a bit off topic ;-) The fundamental problem is that one needs some 40-50 different letters to spell...
I'm a bit surprised (don't want to say "disappointed") to see how many reactions from so many different members we get about a non-FS topic like this, whereas...
Maybe my 'dialect' of FS just happens to look amazingly like English? :) *mischievous giggle* Seriously though, yes it was a little off topic, but sometimes...
Sorry to all for continuing talking about EN phonology, but this one is maybe important for FS orthography. It's just a simple thing I'd like to say. To create...
I don't mind to discuss off topic things, especially when they have a certain relevance for FS. But I'm just sorry to see that many people seem more interested...
Better than this.... just because Slovio creator did not want to use diacritics he used "x" before each consonant that needed a diacrtitic on it. The result...

Like Ingmar I'm also a bit surprised, but I agree, that FS also has some similar problems with spelling. But first of all I would suggest something that makes...
