If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it--and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit on a hot stove lid again--and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.: anonymous

The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g j" anomali wonse and for all.
