He mentioned that it has plenty of irregularities, too.<br /><br />I'm biased, but I like English the best so far. I still think if we pronounced it right, it might be the best option, even without dropping letters. A simple alphabet is one thing that the language developers seem to lack appreciation of. It might be a disadvantage to be too smart when thinking about language.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265425172888920679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372440.post-42966943104129624772012-12-23T20:23:54.412-08:002012-12-23T20:23:54.412-08:00Joe, you got ambushed by another language.

I must say of Spanish, it's much more consistent than English.<br /><br />I live on the Keem-pare Peninsula (Quimper), but I don't think there are many residents who pronounce it that way. ©∂†ß0X∑®https://www.blogger.com/profile/07840565734151807057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372440.post-62502144816895983632012-12-23T08:00:38.774-08:002012-12-23T08:00:38.774-08:00P.S. the letter j would always be pronounced hard ...P.S. the letter j would always be pronounced hard as well.

It's ironic that the last name of developer of that language thing begins with Q, and I had a hard time finding the story because I got word of it by phone conversation. So I didn't know how to spell his name!<br /><br />The only adjustment that I would make to English would be to drop the letters k and q and then make the c hard sounding all the time. I may be missing something in that idea, though.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265425172888920679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372440.post-52986839365120393872012-12-23T06:39:50.102-08:002012-12-23T06:39:50.102-08:00That looks interesting, Joe.
