Life would be simpler if there was a 'd' in avocado i.e. advocado. In a move to a classless society we should simplify spelling.

if you want to stay hip with the kids then look to the texters' techiques of soundalike reductionist spellings.
r u ok
take away a letter at a time until all words are spelt with one or even no letters.
as for avocados. they taste like crayons. everyone loves crayons. fact

i think the missing 'd' syndrome may be more serious that you originally thought.
how about pidgeon.
it's the opposite of a silent 'h'.
it's an audible mispronounced 'd'
Posted by: daves at May 29, 2003 08:30 AMWhat about fridge and refrigerator? What's going on? The d is silent like the p in pool.
