You want consistent rules? In English? Silly person!...

[sigh] Ok, I concede the silly part... and even admit to a devil's advocate approach (a little "stir up the moat"...if you will), but at least Kieva "enjoyed seeing me say *it" .

Note the two *different uses of a the 'tongue'

But seriously, folks (and peoples)... I would call upon all lexicographers to adopt a "phonetics" approach to new entries and start 'fixing' old ones so teachers can appear consistent and students can concentrate a little more on meaning... instead of graphical representations...

So what would you believe my intentions are "But seriously..." or ?

Thadawda str things upa bit.
