THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "DYSLEXIA" WHILST THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXISTS IN ITS PRESENT FORM.

"DYSLEXIA" DOES NOT EXIST.

If you disagree then you probably are an English speaker.

Why not chose a different language to speak and write in?
Maybe ...say Spanish.

Do everything in Spanish and THEN tell me if you still have "Dyslexia" (according to someone else) or think you do yourself.

"Orwell Day" is today - 21st January!

George Orwell died today in 1948.

George Orwell wrote of the English language in 1941

(in "The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius.")

that the spelling system "DEFIES ANALYSIS.".....

Oddly enough/enuff :) in his strong views regarding the future of the English language - which he of course cared about  - he does not seem to mention the possibility of spelling reform.

In this famous essay he makes recommendations about what he thinks would help its better development :
"Politics and the English Language" :

Politics and the English Language

He would certainly be against change by Diktat. That's a safe bet!

An irony of history!

The living language that is closest to English in human History is Dutch. [Also Frisian is particularly close].
An irony of history is that Dutch is extremely phonetically spelt.

De levende taal die het dichtst bij Engels in human Geschiedenis is Nederlands.
De ironie van de geschiedenis is dat Nederlands is zeer fonetisch gespeld.

PERHAPS we could let this fact inspire us IF we were of the opinion that our wonderful language were in any need of reform.

Tyger Tyger!

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

ONCE UPON A TIME...... Inglish had NO SPELLING RULES!!!!....

ONCE UPON A TIME "Countdown" and "Scrabble" did not exist.....

This time was not that long ago......


The last lines of the verse above form a RhETORICAL QUESTION!..........
.......................................................................................

2 new proposals for consistent spelling G and J

G
for hard G sound as in GIT and GRANDAD.......

and

J
for soft J sound as in JUSTICE and JIRAFFE :)

 Jeans - the trousers and
 Jenes - the things that the USA lies to us all about! ....

ALWAYS.

.......

HOMOFONOFOBIA

(Sorry I "suffer" with great pleasure - from SEVERE "HOMOFONOFOBIA"!:) )

Just bear with me! RRAARR!! :)

In German "Can you hear me from here?" is "Ho:ren sie mich von hier?" (2 different words and sounds) - a clue to the origins of the different spellings - now pronounced the same - in Inglish! ......

BTW "Homophobia" is not in my dictionary - neither really nor figuratively.....!

Sensible proposals for English Ortografee Reform?

Sensible proposals/conventions for more FONETIC English Spelling  -  ARE - perhaps?.....

F - for an F sound (replace many "PH"s )

S - for an "S" sound

C - for a HARD C sound (replacing many "K"s and - a couple of "CH"s.....)

ALWAYS.
.......

----------------


This is LOGICALLY CONSISTENT and TOTALLY FEASIBLE and LONG OVERDUE.

Another one I am obviously testing out here is more fonetic treatment of words spelt with UNPRONOUNCED "ght"s and "g"s and suchlike in general.

I just THORT it MITE bee a gud idea!.....at the tium...

Sori! :)

............

I can think of others but will leave it at that for now.....

The fact that English is a global language make such reforms an even better idea.......

I see such things as inseparable from the question of PLAIN ENGLISH - a cause I am aware of and fully support by the way......

I am fully on the side of this organisation.
Sadly they still believe in "Dyslexia".
The only way to prove or disprove the existence of this dubious "condition" is to reform English spelling! :)
