-replased either by 'k' or 's', and likewise 'x' would no longer be part of the
-alphabet. 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.
