Anyway, as the very few people who read this newsgroup can see, there aren't many interesting things going on in this newsgroup. (All spelling reforms are doomed to failure? Do you still spell "gaol", or "shew", or "colour"? I don't think it completely necessary for the spelling to be reformed; only oddities such as mute consonants, mute letters other that e, one or two ov a kind sounds like busy, women, flood, of, colonel)
