DBWI: The Inglish langwij iz not reformd

Well the US wouldn't have taken that economic hit it did, having to reprint every dictionary in the country like five times cost a bloody ton, not to mention the road maps, street signs, and hundreds of billions of other books. Wouldn't have had to deal with the 'New School riots' either.
 
I recall reading that one of the board members proposed the elimination of vowels. It was, of course rejected as unworkable.

Of course, Inglish is a throw back to pre 17th century English, where there was no standardisation and things were spelt pretty much as the author wished.
 
It says something that even in America the sciences still use English as the standard. I think there was an initial attempt to switch to Inglish, but that quickly ended when somebody tried to reform all the Greek and Latin technical spellings and the mess almost caused an explosion at Syracuse.
