       | "For example, in Year 1 that useless letter c would be dropped to
       | be replased either by k or s, and likewise x would no longer be
       | part of the alphabet. The only kase in which c would be retained
       | would be the ch formation, which will be dealt with later.
       | 
       | Year 2 might reform w spelling, so that which and one would take
       | the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish y replasing it
       | with i and Iear 4 might fiks the g/j anomali wonse and for all.
       | 
       | Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear
       | with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears
       | 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist
       | konsonants.
       | 
       | Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi
       | ridandant letez c, y and x -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz
       | ov ould doderez -- tu riplais ch, sh, and th rispektivli.
       | 
       | Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev
       | a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking
       | werld."
