Seems that my clever little spelling ideas have fallen foul of the English language yet again!

I believed that a double-S in a word (like “hiss“) always requires a soft “ssss“, whereas a single-S is harder – a bit like “szszsz“.  But no.  That would be too easy.

Take “issue” (I do, quite often – but anyway..).  You could say “i-shu” or “iss-yu“.  But what about “dissolve” (“dizz-olve“) – that conflicts with my rule, although “dissolution” (“diss-o-lu-shun“) doesn’t.

Disappear ?  Soft “ssss” – again, a conflict.  Occasion?

I’ve decided I need to dance more in my life.  Being a techy-programmer-web_developing-CEO-type, there is so little time anyway.  With the remainder, I usually indulge in sci-fi, walking the dog, eating… and occasionally sleeping too.  Yet, being almost an artificial intelligence by any reckoning, I can tell you that Androids are too busy to dream.

Well, this has to stop!  No more sleeping!  Only raving.  It’s essential.

A trip to Miami is essential too.  After all, you can’t be all the time!

The mouse is dead!
The mouse is dead!
