The more you talk about Regularized Inglish, the more that seems to be
the only reasonable proposal I've seen.  Of course, most proposals want
as close to a one-to-one correspondence, which *would* make Old and New
spelling mutually unintelligible.  That's the kind of thing I was
talking about.

How's _do_ spelt?

> /ok/: hock (for "hough");
What's that mean?  I don't think I've ever seen that word.  Also, why
the final -ck, and not -k?
