seeing Mark Twain's piece recently did jog my memory
about doing this project. But most of the changes
will be grammatical and vocabulary changes, so it's
not just "spelling reform". In fact, far from it. I
had to mutate the spelling enough to get rid of all
silent E's so I can start applying the suffixes and
case endings I plan to use.
