Re: Game: Let's Reform English
I think this became unrecognizable as English a long time ago. Looks like it's new phrase guy to the rescue

Re: Game: Let's Reform English
That seems to have passed the point of no return!
This is my best stab at the appropriate British English, though I fear it's probably pretty generic.
<The man next to me said suddenly in a dreamy voice, "Yes, I think I shall express the accusative case by a prefix!>
/ðə mæn nekst tuː miː sed ˈsʌd(ə)nlı ın ə ˈdriːmı vɔıs, "jes, aı θıŋk aı ʃəl ıkˈspres ðı əˈkjuːzətıv keıs baı ə ˈpriːfıks/
1. Eliminate the indefinite article.
2. Cliticize the definite article to its head noun (even if that is not the following word), and change the vowel to what it would normally be in that position.
3. +voice intervocalically, with appropriate spelling changes.

Aaaaaand this is where I realize the /s/ in 'voice' shouldn't have, well, voiced. It's intervocalic orthographically but not phonetically. Ooops.StrangerCoug wrote:Finally someone other than me puts up a new phrase :P

The indefinite article is also affixed to the following noun.
By analogy, words starting with ə are assumed to be the indefinite forms.
