I enjoyt reding this articl, but wot dahz "The order was obeyed, and among the President's special message regarding the Panama Canal was printed using the Board's word list" men, hevenz abav? Frank Landsman ( talk) 07:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
I was about to say the same thing. Any takers? Bazza1971 ( talk) 09:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Um, wasn't it already? See British Empire. 86.150.96.146 ( talk) 08:13, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
I think there's a difference between "a world language" and "the world language"... Bazza1971 ( talk) 09:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
There's kind of an eerie parallel between some of these reformed words and the modern-day txt speak and internet slang... I mean, did anyone else have to look twice at the word 'thru' to find what the correction was?

The article is missing a discussion on the activities of the SSB between 1906, when it published its list of 300 words, and 1920, when it announced a set of 27 rules for reform and a short list of words. These rules are:
In addition, the respelling of the following words are not covered by these rules and are treated separately: aker, anser, beleager, burlesk, buro, campain, catar, cask (for casque), counterfit, delite, diarea, foren, forfit, frend, grotesk, hemorage, hemoroid, iland, ile, ilet, mark (for marque), maskerade, morgage, picturesk, reciet, siv, slight (for sleight), sorgum, sovren, spritely, tisic, tisis, tuch, yoman, yu, yung, yungster, yunker. The preceding is from this reference: Wijk, Axel (1959). Regularized English. Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksell. pp. 74–76.. In addition, any material on the activities of the SSB after 1920 would be a useful addition. Did they do much after 1920? When did they disband? -- B.D.Mills ( T, C) 11:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
When he said "I think I hav been patient long enuf... I hav much better use for twenty thousand dollars a year."
was he mocking the new writing system, or was that how it was supposed to be spelled under the new system? Bumblebritches57 ( talk) 13:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Also, I know it doesn't state it in the article, but it's implied that it was a failure, can anyone clarify if this program has had an impact on how we spell some words today? they seemed to use british spellings like Plough, and recommended using plow instead, which is what we use today, or if the usage of such spelling arose separately, and if so, how?

In the table, under 'Examples' there is 'a.s.f.' What does this mean? 82.16.195.178 ( talk) 19:03, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Paul
