it might be more than oneI've decided that for Self Preservation I'm making one small change. I guess I'm not insisting the rest of the world comply, that would be vastly arrogant. So if you're reading this, what you read in my college paper isn't a typo. I wrote it that way on purpose, added the new word to my dictionary and for humor-me sake, I ask you to add it to yours. Now, going the one step further and incorporating my suggestion into your world, that would be lovely, but not necessary. The decision is yours either way. My first colloquial language edit is to replace the "c" in most words that has an ess (S) sound. Words like practise, avarise and the like. I am not touching words that end with "ace" as I will be leaving Ace to itself. Translation of ace to ase crosses a cultural appropriation boundary that I'm not willing to bridge at this time. Another wordsmith is welcome to take that plunge and I will follow that suit when it presents. Without going into too much defending of my chosen position, I will simply refer you to other languages and surmise that my comfort level is here. This is how I'm choosing to represent myself in language. I anticipate this will continue to shift. *inserting room to grow*
