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. --gary
