Tung was too "radical" lol ... I'v alreddy started using it and I'v started dropping the silent 'e' when the inside vowel is short ... hav, giv, indefinit, productiv, asf. Wimmen is good ... and soop is better than soup ... the 'ou' should be for the 'ow' sound as in house. That means yu, grupe, asf. Oh yea ... altho, tho, and thru are in my wordstock and I'v added enuff as well!
