parsanali, aai laaik globish veri mach bat aai think dhaet soam peepal wil

Personally, I like Globish very much but I think that some people will
disagree with the whole idea. Be prepared for a kind of trench warfare!  ;-)

Wow! Not so easy to spell that simple sentence! I had to double-check the
pronunciation of every word in my dictionary. (And I'm sure there is still
one or two mistake here and then.)

An official bilingual English-Globish dictionary is definitively what is
needed so I could check what I wrote. Besides, a bilingual dictionary is a
better idea than to let someone on a distant desert island lost in the far
north decide for over a billion people how they should write.  ;-)

Any way, I can hardly wait to see Globish in action. I like so much
pseudo-phonetic spellings! Maybe in the headline of a newspaper?

Farst maan oan Maars iz a wumaan!  ;-)

See ya,
