In order for everyone to have fun, will the economists please read the lawyer jokes, the lawyers the glewbulb jokes, the glewbulbs... and so on. Thank you.

And folks, please, I am not prejudiced and I have met highly intelligent blondes. These are jokes. They are are not meant to be taken seriously, they are meant to relax you. If they don't, read another group of jokes. There ought to be variety enough here.

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling by Mark Twain

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be
replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be
part of the alphabet.  The only kase in which "c" would be retained
would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.  Year 2
might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the
same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with
"i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
 Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with
Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so
modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.  Bai
Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant
letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould
doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.  Fainali, xen,

During a period of sixteen months - April 1878 to September 1879 - the famous American author Mark Twain made a journey through Europe. In his book "A Tramp Abroad" (1880) there is a very funny appendix called "The Awful German Language".
