Inzpired by the change from the TNP miniztry of defence to "miniztry of Defenze", I would like to introduce an act to ztandardize zpeling in al official TNP documentz.

The act zhall introduce the following:

the letter "s" zhall be abolizhed, and zhal be replaced by "z" (which zhal be prononced to rhime with "bee"

The dipthong "ou" zhal drop the "u". therefore "our" shall now be zpeled "or".

the dipthong "ll" shal drop one "l"

The folowing zpecific zpeling changez zhal be adopted:


1. Cloke for cloak
2. Soop for soup
3. Mazheen for machine
4. Tung for tongue
5. Greef for grief
6. Dawter for daughter
7. Koruz for chorus
8. Nightmar for nightmare
9. Turnep for turnip
10. Iland for island
11. Porpez for porpoise
12. zteddy for steady
13. Hainoz for heinous
14. Thum for thumb
15. Gillotin for guillotine
16. zpunge for sponge
17. Ake for ache
18. Wimmin for women
19. Determin for determine
20. Giv for give
21. Bilt for built
22. Beleev for believe
23. Grotezk for grotesque
24. ztile for style
25. Neer for near
26. zley for sleigh

God blezz Noah Webzter, and God blezz America.

thiz is now open for debate.
 
I waz wondering whether it did not go far enogh, and whether al dobled leterz zhold be single.

zo "tt" to "t"
butter to buter

"pp" to "p"
zupper to zuper (which may be confuzing, but context shold give the corect word)

etc.
 
Full support. I trust that we will see the Flemingovian Gospel appropriately translated soon?
 
If we are going to start skrapping letters, klearly it ought to be the letter "c" which is first on the tjopping blokk. It is entirely a kopykat with no independent sound of its own!

It's not about logik, it's about effishiansy. And about ensuring everyone gets to be a unique, speshial snowflake. Both are solid Amerikan ideals.

I think yo are now juzt being zily, zilyztring.
 
*sigh* Typos, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors are plentiful already (regardless of country of origin). I'd prefer legislation that mandates the use of the 'preview' button. :fish:

The benefit of thiz bil is that it removez zpeling from the vaguariez of individual delegate'z preferencez, and codifiez and standardizez it.

that way we alwayz know what the legaly corect zpeling is.
 
alzo remember, thiz would only aply to oficial, legal documentz. In normal play we can continue to pozt az we wish.
 
Here iz an example of how it wold work. It iz a thing of beauty:

The Bil of Rightz for al Nationz of The North Pacific


1. Al Nationz of The North Pacific are zovereign. Each Nation haz the right of zelf-determination in that Nation'z domeztic policiez, including, but not limited to, izue zelection and WA memberzhip.

2. Each Nation'z rightz to free zpeech, free prez, and the free exprezion of religion zhal not be infringed, and zhal be encoraged, by the governmental authoritiez of the region. Each Nation haz the right to azemble, and to petition the governmental authoritiez of the region, including the WA Delegate, for the redrez of grievancez. The governmental authoritiez of the region zhal act only in the bezt intereztz of the Region, az permited and limited under the Conztitution.

3. Participation in the governmental authoritiez of the region iz voluntary. Participation in the World Azembly zhal not be a condition of participation in the governmental authoritiez of the region.

4. No Nation of The North Pacific holding WA member ztatuz in NationZtatez zhal be obligated to endorze any oficial of a government authority of the region. The right to add an endorzement or withdraw an endorzement iz a zovereign right of that Nation az a WA member.

5. Al Nationz of The North Pacific have the right to be protected againzt the abuze of powerz by any oficial of a government authority of the region. Any Nation of The North Pacific haz the right to requezt the recal of any oficial of a government authority of the region in acordance with the Conztitution, that iz deemed to have participated in zuch actz.

6. No Nation zhal be held to anzwer for a crime in a manner not prezcribed by the Conztitution or the Legal Code. No Nation zhal be zubjected to being twice put in jeopardy for the zame ofenze. No Nation zhal ever be compeled in any criminal caze to be a witnez againzt itzelf.

7. When charged with criminal actz, Nationz of The North Pacific zhal have a fair, impartial, and public trial before a neutral and impartial judicial oficer. In any criminal proceeding, a Nation iz prezumed innocent unlez guilt iz proven to the fact finder by reazonably certain evidence. A Nation may be reprezented by any conzel of the Nation'z choozing. No Nation convicted of a crime zhal be zubject to a punizhment dizproportionate to that crime.

8. No Nation zhal be ejected from the region, or banned from any forum, except az exprezly authorized by the Conztitution or the Legal Code. Zhold any oficial of a government authority of the region with authority to act, declare that the immediate ejection or banning of a Nation iz an urgent mater of regional zecurity they may order the ejection or banning of the nation. Any ejected or banned nation zhal have prompt and immediate recorze to judicial review of the mater. The WA Delegate zhal not exercize the power of ejection or banning unlez exprezly authorized by a zpecific action of a government authority of the region purzuant to the Conztitution or to the Legal Code.

9. Each Nation in The North Pacific iz guaranteed the organization and operation of the governmental authoritiez of the region on fundamental principlez of democracy, acontability, and tranzparency. No action by the governmental authoritiez of the region zhal deny to any Nation of The North Pacific, due procez of law, including prior notice and the opportunity to be heard, nor deny to any Nation of The North Pacific the equal and fair treatment and protection of the provizionz of the Conztitution. No governmental authority zhal have power to adopt or impoze an ex pozt facto law or a bil of atainder az to any act for purpozez of criminal proceedingz.

10. Each Nation entitled to a vote in any manner under the fundamental lawz of the region iz entitled to the equal treatment and protection of that Nation'z right to vote.

11. No governmental authority of the region haz the power to zuzpend or dizregard the Conztitution or the Legal Code. In the event of an actual emergency, the governmental authoritiez of the region, with the exprez conzent of the Nationz of the region or their reprezentativez, iz authorized to act in any reazonable manner that iz conziztent az practicable with the pertinent provizionz of the Conztitution.

Of course, this iz juzt iliztrative. The Exizting text of our lawz would be enshrined as a memorial to bad zpeling. New clauzez would uze the more modern standard American zpeling in the OP of thiz thread.

That'z juzt UnAmerican. What are yo, a pinko flag-burning comunizt?


That wood properly B "uh pinko flag-berning komyoonizt". :P

But only if we ban the leter "C", which is an abomination.
 
Clearly you never read Noah Webster, or you'd never had proposed this monstrosity of a can of worms.

Why not just propose the abolition of the letters a, e, i, o, u? Hebrew doesn't have letters for any vowels, and the Torah manages just fine. ;)

That iz true. I do not generaly read dictionariez unlez I am loking zomething up.

Hebrew found the limitationz of no vowelz. That is why the masoritez invented pointing zo az to inzert vowelz withot dizturbing the zacred text.
 
Itz been four dayz. Zurely that iz enough time for zomeone to form an opinion on the matter. Thiz is clearly the bezt legizlation thiz azzembly haz had all year.

Your mother.
"Okay children, let's say our a b k's"? You must be joking.
And bezidez, how cood yu even zpell "Children" without the leter "C"?

Djildren? :lol:

Pleaz note, the zpeling uv "Mother" wood reemane the zame. That iz unlezz yu ar a Hel'z Anjel biker and then it wood be "Muthuh". Or, uv corz, if you wuz an Eeztender, it wood be zpelt "Muvver". Glad we arnt in Auztraylya.
