Ken Smith of Bucks New University says the most common mistakes should be accepted as "variant spellings". ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If English were to adopt Lojbanic spelling conventions, there would be no more confusion, would there? Better yet, complete the process. Let Great Britain be the first nation to adopt Lojban as its national language. Keep Welsh, Scots and Irish Gaelic, Manx and Cornish as legacy languages, but drop this confusing, ambiguous malglico altogether. Peace, Alex.
