"... I jenerally spell wut I think uv az the proper pronunciation for each word az the best speaker woud say it individuly ..."
WHOSE best speaker? You still haven't answered that.

The spoken languaj iz manifestation uv a natural ability. Riting iz an invention. Inventionz can be improved, replased, or even bekum obsolete.
Nooalf iz an improvement over traditional spelling, wich iz a very poorly constructed invention.
Nooalf iz able to communicate "all the varied traits and feelings and thoughts and cultural experiences" more efficiently & effectively than traditional spelling and can convey thingz that simply cannot be conveyed with traditional spelling.
Why do you believe a collection uv semi-random letter stringz dictated and enforsed by tradition haz sum special power to express your thots?
Sumthing you shoud spend more time thinking about.

I'm sure you have data to back that up. BTW, you owe some data for other claims you made. You seem to be really long on opinion, and short on facts. Plus you need to answer the question WHOSE pronunciation.

In this topic? I'm not denying I rote it. Why do you think I'm contradicting it?

You didnt read the post very carefully. I did mention Dan Rather. Pick any American network primetime newz ankor. They arent all equal, but given a single word to pronounce 'perfectly' they will all be pretty darn close.
And there duznt haf to be a single standard for the whole world. You mentioned British vs American dictionary pronunciation keyz earlier. Same deal.

You type faster than me! (not saying I'm fast) But you appear to be skimming rather than reading my responsez.

Anybody proficient in Nooalf would be able to 'hear' that dialect even if theyd never really heard it. Completely impossible with traditional Engish spelling.
Wut other claimz, spesificly? In a previous post I explained that much uv wut I rote wuz frum jeneral knowlej, and coud be checked out with Wiki. The only thing that wuznt condusiv to that wuz the Chineze cheating thing, so I linked to a newz article.

I've read the Story of English. I own a copy. I've seen the series. I've studied linguistics.

I read sumthing about a court advizor segjesting to the emporor that a fonetic system woud boost literacy in China - this wuz in sum middle age dynasty. The advizor wuz executed. The emporor realized that literacy iz power and that hiz power relied on the weakness uv the general population.
Anecdotal story that contributes nothing. Modern China is a literate country, despite its nonphonetic alphabet.
Quote:
But you are making the same lojik error 1KIKI made above. The number symbolz can reprezent both the spoken word and the consept. Spelling = consept = pronunciation. Wut you are segjesting iz that if spelling = pronunciation, it cant = consept.
er, no I'm not.

You have an inkling uv how the rest uv the world feelz about English.
What does this mean? I don't understand your posts and that has little to do with how you spell things.
Quote:
I don't think you hav anything to worry about. The BBC iz available everywhere and your musicianz, moviez and TV showz are doing a brisk international bizness.
So how does that relate to my question about how those who do not speak standard american or british english communicate in Noalf?

You are worried that American English will wipe out British English. So you can relate to people in non-english speaking countryz whoz native languaj iz being displased.

from the Rosetta Project:
As a linguistic collection, The Rosetta Project also serves to draw attention to the drastic and accelerated loss of the world’s languages. Just as globalization threatens human cultural diversity, the languages of small, unique, localized human societies are at serious risk. In fact, linguists predict that we may lose as much as 90% of the world’s linguistic diversity within the next century.

I'm worried that American phonetically spelt english will be the linga franca and that not only will I have to put up with saturation in audible media of the american accent, I'm going to have to endure it with the written word.

"In this topic? I'm not denying I "
Yes, IN THIS TOPIC. Page 3. Yanno, I can't help you if despite all directions you can't find YOUR OWN POSTS.
"And there duznt haf to be a single standard for the whole world."
Then that's a problem. The purpose of language is to communicate. If you choose to create a non-uniform system, then there will be fewer people who understand each other. Why do you advocate a system where fewer people can communicate with each other? And why do you call it an improvement?
"Wut other claimz, spesificly?"
The other claims where I asked you for supporting data. You complain that I'm "skimming rather than reading" your posts. But you appear to be ignoring all the posts you can't answer. Go back and read my posts. You'll find all those claims I pointed out where I asked for supporting data. They're there. I promise.
So, still no answers, no data to back up your claims, no nothing except your own personal prejudices. Whatever. Just to let you know - if you can't engage in a dialogue, this is what you'll get -
RUSH LIMBAUGH is a BLUE PILL ADDICT!

I hav read and asnrd all your posts, 1KIKI. Several timez on most points, actually, since you usually dont understand the ansr. (or pretend not to understand)
Asking for soursez or data or referensez on points uv lojik iz a standard evasion tactic for peeps who know they hav alredy lost the argument.
I understand why everybody who can alredy read english iz agenst this. But in spite uv the rezistens, I like to believ that not all people are dronez who cant uze lojik to fix their own mental flawz.
MAGON, you dont need to worry about that for at least 50 yirz. And considering that idealistic foolz like me hav been trying and failing to introduce a real spelling system for English for 800 yirz, you can relax and forget about it.
