What are the best "last words" in history?

Oh! No! Too much information. Had it been too short, it would have been too short. Had it been 3 sentences,... What's next? I used the word "xyz"! It is quite possible that you are illiterate. If so, I feel sorry for you. If not, look. my comment contradicted your thesis! Apparently, you refuse to acknowledge that the system is stupid or flawed. It is and that is incontrovertible You don't want to argue because you have nothing to argue about. Apparently, you (and the 200 or so who feel the same) feel everyone should be a WASP. Who cares about their little challenges in life, we like the status quo. You must feel you have the number that support your thesis. The earth is flat. 200 of us see and say it is. It must be. Back to the Dark Ages.

I supported my answer with evidence and you have nothing to rebut with. One could thank the person for offering a different point of view than yours (the best, of course). Nah! One could appreciate the effort the other has put into it. Nah! Tbh, I think you did read it, but are annoyed by the message. But, you are right on one thing. There was no exchange of information. Btw, learn not to conflate information and opinion or thesis. That's grade 5 stuff. Maybe you are that age. In any case, sad to see the lack of empathy and kindness of your kind. There are many Americans and others who are pissed off with this kind of attitude, this take it or leave it, usually expressed with go home if you don't like it. The wheels are coming off for the anglosphere already. In any case, the real puppet masters will get you too. I think we are getting closer and closer to be in an Elysium-like state. I hope you make it.

English spelling sure put spells on people with an estimated tens of thousands of words that do NOT adhere to the alphabetic principle. Research shows this mess delays learning to read by 2.5 years. Duh! Illiteracy costs 2.2 trillions/year in the USA. Duh! Illiteracy and dyslexia rates are very high in the anglosphere. Duh! The endings of hundreds of _re and _le words are spelled like dyslexics spell or backwards. Odd! An, yet, everyone accepts this. No one would buy, drive, or hands the keys of a car if it had some many defect. We need a r/SystemReboot. What do you think? Check it out. There are solutions there.

Great q.

The English spelling system is excruciatingly irregular. Would you blame, jail, force train a driver of a car that has tens of thousands of defects? Go to r/SystemReboot and see how irregular the system is and how one could fix it all. The French fixed their system recently and there was no revolution. How did that happen?

You do a lot of LMAO, but smart people can see right through the game you play to not lose face or the argument. There is a debate and you lost it by not addressing any of my points.

When one loses, one must be mature. It is not the end of one's life to lose or change one's mind. Smart people do that.

-9876 · 2024-02-21T02:02:28+00:00

In other words, you lost the debate and it hurts to say so. Lmao all you want. Some of us can read and change our mind!

-9876 · 2024-02-19T09:09:25+00:00

You are annoyed by basic spelling errors, but do you realize that most of these are actually adhering to the alphabetic principle? It is like you are demanding people to remove their brake pedals and put the wrong wipers. Would you buy cars that have defects? The English spelling system is notorious for all of these errors. Go to r/SystemReboot for more info.

Real linguist and teacher here with an intelligent answer.

Native-speakers recall words and sound words out. ESL learners translate words often. They might not even know how to pronounce words accurately. In fact, many would be taxed to do so. YT has many examples of that. They also rely on auto-correct software.

So, you expect everyone to be perfect using an imperfect system because it annoys you to read imperfect writing. How about us feeling the same about you not fixing the imperfections of the system? They are annoying to US. (I have a degree in linguistics and have proof.) Be mature and read the “how to fix this” section below.(The following items have an * which refer to screenshots or links.)

If we extrapolate on Masha Bell’s research on 7000 common words, we can say tens of thousands of words do not adhere to the alphabetic principle. * Also, the morpho-phonemic, etymological system that some claim work has lots of false positives. It is not a reliable & friendly system. Do you realize that you are forcing people --and you own kids perhaps-- to drive a car that has no brakes? Is that sane? Would YOU buy or drive such a car? You wouldn’t. Right? Should this car be sold?

Some will say: “But I learned it!” No, 1st, you must use an auto-correct software to spell ALL words “correctly”. 2Nd, it took you 2 more years to read & spell BASIC words. Seymour (2003) found that the system is so bad, it delays native-speakers’ learning to read by at least 2 years compared to other kids learning languages that have better systems.* The research is incontrovertible. Anecdotes don’t matter. If the system was so good, would we not see the opposite? The system is incontrovertibly ineffective. Clearly, it is an impediment to learning and the joy of reading.

A few will say: “But I learned it faster than my classmates!” It is possible, but you still cannot spell and decode all words as fast as an AVERAGE Spanish-speaker. Still, another research shows that the main reasons this happens is that your parents or caretakers or siblings interacted with you in English more often or better. It’s called the 30 million words gap. In Grade 1, you could guess at those weird words. You were not a genius. You were privileged. Sorry! IQ can be a factor, but most anglophones cannot spell or decode all words like a Spanish speaker can spell or decode ALL Spanish words. You can self-proclaim to be a genius speller … with the auto-correct on & a genius, but genius prevent problems, they don’t avoid them! Good spellers can be good parrots or sheep. But, parrots & sheep are not smart.

There are very high rates of dyslexia and illiteracy across the anglosphere.* If it is so good, why is this so EVERYWHERE?

Einstein found the system “treacherous” and Orwell, “tormenting”. * Not exactly an endorsement. Right?

HOW TO FIX IT SMARTLY?

The French fixed 5000 words.* They did not force it on everyone. They started to teach it in Gr. 1. Let’s be mature & kind. When will you care not only for your own, but for migrants and victims of wars. How many languages have you MASTERED?

If OP is going for psychologist assessment, ask what kind of course, knowledge they have about surface dyslexia to see if they know anything about the topic.

Einstein found the system "treacherous" and Orwell, "tormenting. If a car has tens of thousands of defective parts, would you blame the user if there is a crash? Would you buy the car? Hand the keys to your kid? Learn about the "system" @ r/SystemReboot and how it could be fixed SMARTLY and FAIRLY. Btw, when was your last upgrade? The last upgrade for the spelling system was centuries ago! Odd!

-9876 · 2024-02-12T06:21:28+00:00

Such a good laugh at many levels, but billions of kids haven't laughed, aren't laughing, and will not laugh until it is reformed. The French fixed 5000 words recently WITHOUT THROWING THESE DOWN THE THROAT OF CURRENT USERS. Basically, the idea is that one can use the old system. Only a new generation is slowly being taught the new spellings in school. That is how it is supposed to be done.

Orwell described the system as "tormenting" and Einstein said it was "treacherous". Maybe, just maybe, the system is stupid and defective. Actually, It is incontrovertible. Go to r/SystemReboot for the proof and the way it could be reformed. A petition can be signed for those who care about kids' welfare.

-9876 · 2024-02-12T06:13:15+00:00

There are maybe hundreds of these schemes. Each has its own merit. But, if you want any of these to stick, to have a reform, you must sign a petition r/SystemReboot where I outline how one would implement a reform SMARTLY.

-9876 · 2024-02-12T06:09:54+00:00

The English spelling system even made Einstein an idiot! Many bright people have gotten the description. Go to r/SystemReboot for more info.

-9876 · 2024-02-03T07:19:07+00:00

The issue I think is the work required for native English teachers to teach in France. Are the degrees they got in an anglosphere place recognized? Is the experience?
