I think we should have seen that coming, since Millie once went through the dictionary, looking for spelling errors...
Man...I didn't even remember that one. Well no one said re-writing the alphabet would be easy. I can understand the tail thingy well. Every time I encounter multiple spelling errors it feels as if my spine wants to jump from my back. Nicely done as always.

Simplifying the English language...

Newspeak, anyone?
Not quite. Newspeak's goal was to take out so many words from the English vocabulary that the only coherent sentences you could form were those that agreed with The Party. Millie's just trying to make English words spell the way they're pronounced.

It's pretty hard to unlearn the spelling conventions we're used to, though. If at all, it would probably take a generation or two before society gets used to a new system.
But millie could easily make this into newspeak.

Curious. What makes you say that? It took years to make Newspeak the way it was in the book, and they had a whole department dedicated to it!

Does anyone else find panel 2 to be sort of cute? Must be the angle.
I do. I like that her head is a little tilted and she's focused which is a little uncommon for her.

Wow, interesting.

Wow this thread has a lot of interesting and educational links =).

:laugh: I lol-ed at what Millie said in the last panel.
I'm not going to pick up on your sarcasm...
