I've actually read this one, mid-last year. Subtitled "or, Americans
to the front", it starts out as a plea for spelling reform, which,
after a while, owing perhaps to some of the difficulty of making
reformed English spelling look any good, mutates into a full-out
conlang, expurgating Latin roots, and even importing some other
Germanic ones, and even uses q and (ISTR) upside-down i as vowel signs.
