=”english isnt so scary,” BUT the horrenduous spelling IS.= GBS 1940 tried his best to get phonetics into the langg. i spoke baby english before i did in my native tongue. i can follow all the 30 diff ways IndInglish is spoken and also the diff ways in anglophile world.# My advice to MacMillan is to give the fonetic English alongside the old word. and accept / tolerate the free english for all but the academic usage.# By 50 years the old spellings will have disappeared.# in 1969 i was told at BKK by a Burmese Director that Ind Eng is so fast, monoTonous, and w/o any concept of stress etc. That is cos our teachers were taught so! # So, if MacMillan in its phonetik parallel version puts in a few stress marks this handikap is korrekted.
