Thanks Ric for forwarding that hilarious piece by Andy Bell. I love
the way it builds while it destroys the language. Masterful comedy.
But it left me puzzled, wanting to know at which point the Government
suggestions left off & Andy Bell's inspired invention took over. Or is it
a l l a hoax, & I too removed from British irony to know?
It does seem (if this was an official suggestion) that the silent e in
language isn't in fact silent, since it affects the sound of the preceding
g. There are other hairs one might split, but not to bother if it's all
spoof. David
