That was fun, and of course I could read it. I wasn't a teacher, a special education teacher, and a reading teacher for nothing.!

It is indeed - I just read yours without trying to analyse it and it was perfectly clear to me

@jaboUK I was amazed the first time I read something like that at just how natural it was to read at normal speed.

Oh this is great! I was able to read it ! At times I have had to correct the writings of 1st and 2nd graders, so I have had practice with that kind of spelling .

@jaboUK I agree! Being too strict or too lenient doesn't do any good to any site unless of course you are writing academic posts or serious literature.

It's written exactly as you would say it Anna - so first lines are 'A creature so fine is an elephant majestic, huge and magnificent.' Hope that helps

Hi Chang - if you read it out loud you might get it. The first line is 'A creature so fine is an elephant' (Ay creacha soe fyne iz ann ellifant) .
