Avocados

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.

you fool. this wouldn't solve anything. you're adding more letters. everyone knows shorter words are easier to spell. eg: it, he, i

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

my intial views may have been too hasty and i welcome the opportunity to offer a revised view.

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'

What about fridge and refrigerator? What's going on? The d is silent like the p in pool.
