    As part of the 23rd century setting for my novel in progress I =
invented
a phonemic spelling of English called Vermont Revised Spelling.  Details =
are
at http://www.connix.com/~dennis/rbweb/vrs.htm.  It was discussed on this
list a few years ago.  I revised it slightly as a result of that =
discussion.
I plan to revise it slightly again soon, making the distinction between
vowels more coarse.
    This was supposedly invented by a progressive political leader =
without
linguistic training.  It reflects the pronunciation of 22nd century =
Vermont,
which is surprisingly like my own.  :-)  Some examples:

standard          VRS

pin               pin
bet               bet
pain              pane

book              buuck
like              like
pawn              paun (will probably be "pon" after the next revision)
power             pouer

Rapt up in a five pound note.

And sange too a smoll guit=E1r,

Wut a beuttifuull puuscee ue ar, ue ar, ue ar!

Puuscee ced too dhe oull, "Ue ellegunt foull,
How charmeenglee swete ue cenge!
O! let uss be mairrede; too long we hav tairrede;
But wut shall we doo for a renge?"

Too dha land ware dha bong tre groze,
And dhare in a wuud a Piggueewig stuud,
With a renge at dhe end uv hiz noze, hiz noze, hiz noze,
With a renge at dhe end uv hiz noze.

"Dere Pig, ar ue willenge too cell for wun shillenge
Yuur renge?"  Ced dha pigguee, "Y will."
So dhay tuuck it uw=E1y, and wer mairrede next day
By dha terkee hoo livz on dha hill.

Wich dhay ate with a runcibl spoon;
And hand in hand, on dhe ej uv dha sand,
Dhay danst by dha lite uv dha moon, dha moon, dha moon
Dhay danst by dha lite uv dha moon
