Mrkim, the fact that you interpreted Ladle Rat Rotten Hut as Little Red Riding Hood is evidence that the phonetics in the example given are a good enough approximation, although I do agree with you that the phonetics of BlahX3's example and the Ladle Rat Rotten Hut story are more difficult to interpret than what was written on your fridge.

Just because I could contortedly decipher Ladle Rat Rotten Hut does not make a case for it being done through the use of phonetics, as this was not the case. It was more through a process of disassociative logic than anything like phontics.

Please note the word in the title is Ladle, not Laddle. Ladle is an English word.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner, my bad. Looks like my early evening rum concoction took a toll on this one and I'll cede that point.

Can you please give an example of a word in BlahX3's example or link where letters have been left out (apart from American spelling of course - honor instead of honour, etc). I have only had a cursory look but have not found any.

Ok, now here we can wrestle with semantics if that's your bag but the position as stated in my previous post is that letters were indeed missing that would have allowed the authors point to have come across more clearly. The author instead chose to utilize words that will not phonetically produce an association between the ideas in his head and what appears in print OR if spoken so essentially the resultant word choices failed to produce the desired result.

Also, what is "wetow" from your original post. I cannot find that in a dictionary. I can understand if it was "we tow".

I was never claiming to utilize words that exist as did the author, though indeed some of what I used were in fact words, so what if any is your point unless it's simply to disagree (*facepalm*)
