          e-speec -
The way that children wil lern tu reed
and rite twise az cwicly az thay du nou


          e-speec -
The way wee wil speec tu compyuterz -
And compyuterz wil speec tu us.


Go, lytle booke,
And for ther is so gret diversite
In Englissh, and in writyng of oure tonge,
So I pray I god that non myswrite thee -
.....................
And wherever thee may be rede,
I pray god thee may be understoode.
                              (Chaucer, Middle English, 1385)
