Nobody's Perfect Dept.

[Tom Zurinskas]

Mark Mandel has known of my work for years.  He doesn't like what I do.  He
has an agenda.  Is he a Brittish import to US?  Would that matter to him?
Truespel is US English only (right now).  Does that offend him?

I have brought up many many issues here and have been hectored as no one
else possibly ever has for showing different points of view.  Do you think
that only little catch phrases from here and there are the important things
for this forum?

I've saved my posts here and your replies.  It shows what an emotion issue
phonetics is.  But I believe some issues are wrong and have asked you to
test my ideas and told you how from a human factors researchers point of
view.

You can throw me out and return to talking about catch phrases or
colloquialisms.  I've offered to share my work with those who would like to
make reading and phonemic awareness simpler for kids and adults through
truespel.

I've tried to contact this forum via springdoo.com so that I can demonstrate
what I've been writing about.  In the future we need a real vocal forum to
evaluate dialects.  If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

See my name below and residence history.  (A Zurinskas innovation here -
what has Mandel innovated?)
