Or, as Martin Lúþyr Kiq put it: "Fív skor jérs agó, y grát
Ymerykyn..." :)
Very nicely done, BPJ! I would actually enjoy writing English
like that for real.
Two questions: Why is _får_ "four" and _skor_ "score" written
differently? They're pronounced the same, aren't they?
Is every word supposed to be written as it is pronounced in
isolation? I'm specifically thinking of _tú_ "to", which at
least I tend to pronounce as [t@], i.e. _ty_.
Hmm... I see in a later post that you write it _t_. I think
that's better.
