    A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling
    attributed to Mark Twain

    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.
