Put it this way ... I believe it's *as* intuitive as a semi-phonetic
rendering of a modern English dialect can be if restricted to Latin
characters (with minimal use of diacritics). We all know that the
language and the alphabet simply don't fit.

See my reply to Eliott for some recent changes.

I think it works well. I find that a problem with most simplifified
spelling systems is that it's very hard to read them with any sense
of rhythm. Therefore I've tried to ensure that the length of a word
is a reasonable approximation of its "weight", if you like (factors
contributing to weight being stress, tightness, length, etc). The
tightest vowels are the ones that are always spelt as though they
were long, lengths of vowels are generally indicated, and an extra
consonant is added for stress.

Yes?
