I am relunctant to use oo for either cook or pool because it should be pronounced awe. This was the way it was prononced before 1400.

Steve:
Thanks for what u sent, but i wish u wud stop doing this to me.
I had betr things to do this aftrnoon than *RE*-edit paje 8.
When i sent it bak to u it was with the idea u'd corect a few points and
i wud amend acordngly
and get on with othr matrs, such as nine othr pajes, as well as a local
newsletr, PR work for the local
residents assn, walk the dog, etc, etc.
I wud apreciate it in future if *U* wud do the choosng -
u no mor about the net than i do -
and restrict yor paje to about 700 words, possibly up to 800 if u ar realy
stuk on choosng betwen two
items.
If u stik to the thre requiremnts - 700 words, about spelng, on the net
- u wont go far rong.
U myt like to make one standrd part each month an update of the top ten
URLs.
Anyway, havng got that off my chest, i prefer yor secnd paje.
I hav ad'd it belo for yor inspection, ajustmnt, or corection.
I note its hevily weitd on FortuneCity sites. Do they hav a monopoly?
Query: How do we find Romaji?
In the 'fuller version ' par shud the adress hav a hyfn between the 'Oct'
and the '2'?
I cant rase anything with this adress.
Plese return asap. And no third paje, plese.
Cheers
Allan

A new web ring on writing systems
A new web ring on writing systems has been set up to complement
the one on spelling
reform that John Reilly established over a year ago. A ring is an automated
link exchange
system which maintains links between similar sites.
On the Web, about 30% of the links will go dead within a year. The web
ring
automatically checks for this and removes dead links. Anyone can join a
web ring simply
by placing a return link on their page. To sign up, use the following URLs:

Linguist David Kelley and members of the saundspel discussion group are
attempting to
build a short course on applied linguistics spelling that reformers
and amateur
orthografers would find informative and useful. Some of the material
can be found at:

The alfabet restoration project
The
purpose of the alphabet project is to make it possible to pronounce words
as they are spelled. This is
next
to impossible when a symbol is associated with more than two or three related
sounds.
The goal is to reduce the number of sounds per symbol and the number
of symbols per sound to less than three. This is similar to but not
the same as phonemic spelling where there is a
near one to one relationship between symbols and sounds.
There is general agreement on what four sounds should
be associated with each symbol and what four symbols should be associated
with each sound.
Getting below four, however, is a challenge. For background, visit
