CORONA VIRUS BOREDOM... and ESCAPE FROM THE GRIND

[Acorn]

... from an unproductive and useless life.

Srely 'from an nprodctive and seless life.'? And you cannot even pronounce "buoy"! (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pro...n/english/buoy). And Noah Webster didn't alter tongue to 'tung', which is why Xara correctly refers to its Online Content Catalogue.

The gloves are off. Good ol' SA, so inconsistent.
Betold, there is a logic to differentiating between endings that sound like -ower (as in hour) but if you went totally phonetic you would lost a lot of the origins and associations in their etymology. Hour would be written 'hower' and then people might assume it is the comparative of how and start inventing a superlative 'howest'.

Linguists estimate that a working knowledge of American globish needs just 1,500 words, not even 1 per cent of the content of the Oxford English Dictionary. The rest is wasted.
