This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How about the Finnish version:

"Reform te spelling" hau vuud juu gou abaut tät?

Now you have (at least) two different pronunciations of the letter t, while "would" and "you" now suddenly contain a long vowel?

If you think American English is bad, you should see British English.

And before any Brits get their panties in a twist: no, all the unnecessary additions of "u" aren't original. You all did that after the American Revolution. You collectively had such a temper tantrum over losing a colony that you butchered your own language. Congratulations.

Which means you're putting non-rhotic accents first and you'd erase the "th" sound completely?
