ok, so here a the new alphabet
a b d e f g h i j k l m n o p r s t u v w z

i have removed the c as it can be represented by the k or s, q replaced by kw if necessary, y replaced by i or e, x by z or ks.
and here is how some of the current words can be respelled
quick - kwik xylophone - zilofone recess - resess hungry - hungree hex - hecks
ok so not every word gets simplified.

I saw a similar joke where the modifications to the English alphabet eventually ended up with the article being written in German...

To really get to the bottom of this whole language thing, consider that English came from Latin, just the same as American English came from British English. Nobody speaks Latin anymore (except for arrogant college kids)...

So, Has anyone bought it? played it?

It goes on sale tomorrow... if you have heard of anyone who already has it they are either reviewers or beta testers or pirates.

The reviews are out, though. Of the good ones, all admit that the game is difficult to learn. The negatives think the game is more about 'AI management' than playing the game, and the AI is not manageable. There are also apparently some serious bugs in the UI department, like major graphical glitches. Not surprising given the sheer variety of motherBoards, graphics cards, and drivers out there. How could they possibly test every combination before release?

No, English came from Germanic Languages. It is an amalgamation of the Languages spoken by the native peoples of England, that spoken by the Angles when they took over, and that spoken by the Saxons when they took over (and some Celtic thrown in for good measure). All of these Languages are Germanic Languages. Some French (which is latin-based) made its way in when the Normans (who were Vikings-turned-Frenchmen) conquered England in the 11th century AD. French words were used mostly by the upper ruling classes, and English was used by the lower classes. So, most of English is still based off of the ancient Germanic Languages, with a splash of French thrown in. Scientific terms are usually derived from Latin, but they are not really a part of the common everyday English language.

MOO3 is supposed to go on sale tomorrow... or at least the pre-sales are supposed to ship tomorrow. I do not know yet if any local outlets (Best Buy, EBgames, etc.) will have it in.

A few Online vendors have still not definately commited to ship times, so I do not even know if copies have arrived at the distribution warehouses yet.

Anybody got anything definate and dependable?

Adrenaline Vault gives the game three out of five stars--mainly because the AI is so incredibly poor.
