Re: International Algorithmic Language

This all reminds me of the terrific April 1 posting ostensibly by Kernigan
and/or Ritchie apologizing that their originally well-intentioned jokes of
the 'C' language and Unix had taken on a life of their own and people were
actually using them!  It also reminded me of a proposed simplification of
written English which progressively eliminates non-phonetic constructions
and incorporates each step into its own text until the final lines are
almost unintelligible unless you stayed on track throughout.

Classic material.  Particularly considering that it appeared in an *.ada
newsgroup.  Ebonics, move over!
