Lets renovate English

The Human race gets better and better with each generation. We are taller than our ancestors, and smarter too. Same goes for our kids. Thats why they can make calls on our cellphones when they are just two, and we still can't figure out how. They also know how to operate TV's, remotes and rockets.

Pens were invented in the first century. But they never had caps on them, so people used to carry them around like a magic wand of some sort. Decades later, someone came up with the brilliant idea of a cap. I wouldn't be wrong, if I said people during that time were really really dumb.

If it were in the current times, then a pen would have been invented at 8:00:00 AM, and the cap for it at 8:00:01 AM. People nowadays are really smart. There are Newton's and Edison's everywhere now. Some of my collegues who are about half a century old, are horribly horribly slow in using computers even though they have been using it for 20 years. I on the contrary have been using it for less than that.

Our generation and the next generation managed to do something good. Renovate english. When we chat on IM or send SMS's, we try to use the fewet alphabets possible. Though it saves us time, it cost the kids their grades. For every 'b4' they used in their term paper, the lecturer deducted a point.

Its time that we revisit the Enlgish language and remove the unwanted alphabets, change the spellings of a few words. The most useless alphabet in a word would be the letter 'e'. The word apple should be changed to appl. If the e is silent, then why is it bloody there in the first place. Garage should be garaj. E is removed and so is the second g, as it is not pronounced 'gh', but 'jh' instead. It confuses peopl.

'The' is anothr word which needs to chenj to 'dha', as dhat sounds mor cmilar to dha way it sounds. Dhat brings me to 's', in dha end of dha word 'sounds'. It shud b replacd with 'z'. Soundz in fact, soundz like soundz. To shub be 2. Be shud be b. Any word vich usez dha leter 'c', but pronouncd as a 'k' needz 2 chanj 2. From now on, it will b komputer. Dha alfabet 'W' shud b removd as well. 'V' kan b uzed in plac of it. 

I hav a big problm vith using 'ie' in wordz. It shud just b replacd vith a 'e'. Dha word reciept vill b hensforth kalled, recet. After, throing dha p out. Neghbor also on a cimilar bacic. Vell, letz c vat v hav cum vith.

Dho my previous paras lookz lik greek, it makez perfkt senz ven u reed it. Dhis vay, dher von't b a need 2 have a speling test for dha kidz at all. As al dha wordz r riten as dhey sound. Cimple. I trid runing a spel chek on dhis post and the aplikashion just krashd.

I do not lik genralizing evry1 as smart, sins dha toyota korola still cellz.
