	SWF, For or against

I won't hold my breath. However, I am asking a simple question, that requires a one word, only, one word, answer. Are you "For", the SWF, are you "Against" the SWF, or are you as yet "Undecided"? So, "For", I will support it. "Against", I want nothing to do with it. "Undecided", I have yet to make up my mind. My Answer.............For Kernow Kensa! Our day will come! "Everyone has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something."

My acceptance will depend on what the SWF ends up looking like. To use a very mixed metaphor, I've always declined to buy a pig in a poke, by giving the Commissioners, the AHG or anyone else a blank cheque. So my answer to your question is, 'None of the 3 above; instead it's 2 words: "JUDGEMENT DEFERRED!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kernowak y'n Udn Form Screfys? Hep wow! Kernewek Acordys?

Some people prefer one system to another, as new speakers probably will do in 50 yrs time, after learning the SWF. I hope all the systems survive, as i see worth and value in all of them. Every other language has variations in how it is spoken or even spelled. The SWF allows for all to be included. FOR
