I challenge my fellow English speakers to help in modernizing our language.
I'm not saying to go so far as to reduce everything to abbreviations (like so many texters and chatroom kiddies), but let's simplify things, for everyone's sake.
When I say, "Take the 'ugh' out of the English language," I mean it literally.
Simplify old-fashioned words like 'thought' and 'bought' to 'thot' and 'bot'
Why do we need 3 silent letters in words we use everyday?
A waste of time if you ask me.
Also there's 'night' and 'light'
These are much more easily spelled phonetically as 'nite' and 'lite'
Maybe this could also help the many immigrants struggling to learn English.
Why make it so hard?
