Ralph, Thank you for your insightful analysis. I also like Bruce's responses. I have attached a draft of a paper that addresses some of the concerns you...
It's true that truespel has no short "au". I havent heard that sound yet. I've listened to British news often. We'll have to find sound files to demonstrate...

Bruce, Thanks for your analysis of vowels in that short story. I didn't realize the proportion of vowel letter changes. There is a lot of confusion around the...
Tom and Bruce, [o] was the letter that Frank Smith used to illustrate why the Whole Language approach to reading was the only way to go. He didn't think it...
