Hmm, now that you point it out......The fellow who posted it mentioned that
he "got it from a friend" (who got it from a friend....); probably somewhere
along the line someone slipped into old habits.  Personal Opinion of one
who's had a life-long love affair with the Span. language:  "That's the
ugliest thing I ever saw" (to borrow LBJ's comment at the unveiling of his
official portrait).

I'll bet there are similar "proposed reforms" for many of our favorite
languages!!
HANDS OFF THE ORTHOGRAPHY! ;-)

obConlang:  In devising my Kash font, I finally took matters in hand and
introduced a "v" character; transitional glide "w" now occurs only  in /u_V/
or some /a_V/ or  /a+_u/.  So former /sawu/ 'water' remains, pron. /sáU/
(diphthong) ; /ma+umit/ 'I use' remains mawumit, pron. /maúmit/ ; but former
/kuwus/ 'thanks' is now kuvus; lawi 'more' is now lavi, etc.
