replacing letters with apostrophies ( these things ')
« on: September 19, 2008, 10:54:29 AM »
Ive just noticed that so many vowels are being replaced by apostrophies..
why was this done, personally i find it harder to read and english has been the central language in my life.
im sure my english teachers would have a fit as merely forgeting one capital letter gets their goat.
I think it will be dificult for people from around the world who are not as fluent in english.
its just a thought
any ideas
