If you're a fan of phonetics and literature, get a hold of Russell Hoban's novel Riddley Walker. Entirely phonetic,it is post apocalyptic masterpiece. I'd love to see it made into a movie.

Thanks, I will do.   Wasn't Barry Humphries' book on Strine a kind of play on phonetics....  Aussy style ?

You may be confusing Barry Humphries with Professor Afferbeck Lauder, who wrote Let Stalk Strine way back about the time Straya converted to Dismal Guensey.

Yes I was.  BTW  google explains that Afferbeck Lauder is strine for Alphabetical Order.   Makes perfect sense.
