Well I agree that it won't be taking over English any time soon, but possibly it would be used by novelists. At least I hope so as I recoil at reading dialectical spellings, Mark Twain etc is a pain for me. I have a friend who wrote a whole novel with dialectical english, it's good to read for sense and flavor but those alarm bells of "spelling eror!" keep going off in my head and I can't concentrate on the narrative. It should be great for poetry as well. The images will still be there undistorted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry | Without careful communication Gerald Lea Koenig | jlkatnetcomdotcom There is boundless demonization. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
