Prefer to have KK as SWF but will accept a compromise solution.
Why? Politically an agreement will allow for all of us to progress Cornish in Public Life and education at the moment we face a brick wall.
The council that I am a member of will not consider using Cornish on its signage until we have an agreed form neither will the LEA give support to educational organisations with out a SWF. It is essential that it is achieved otherwise the UK govt will have all the reasons it needs not to fund Cornish properly in the future.
I would prefer KK to be the main form but OK with a compromise as long as a fair number of KK features are retained.The advantages of having a SWF outweigh the disadvantages of a compromise (hybrid).

I have done research into the various old forms, and to be honest, i wouldnt mind using them.
But i do want to say this
In Janners book it said that all of the old records use different spellings, and even different spellings within the same text.
How can you base a system on that??
Lets step back here and look at the pros and Cons of Authentic vs Modern
Authentic
Pros
The Old spelling of Cornish
Has accents to mark Intonation of the word
Quite phonetic spelling
Cons
Has accents (cant write plaintext)
Considered Old
Modern
Pros
Is plaintext, so easily writable on a PC
Its very phonetic
Its up to date
Uses K for hard C and S for soft C, so it does not lead to confusion.
Looks modern
Cons
Completly made up system
No authenticity in the spellings
No accents, therefore you have to guess at intonation.
I think that sums it up. If you want another thing added to any list, send me a PM, or if i have got somethign wrong, do the same
Through a process of normalization. Everybody does that, whether Nance or Williams or George or UdnFormScrefys.
KS uses diacritics to mark anomalous length and quality.KS is, yes. UC and UCR were not phonetic systems, but rather orthographic normalizations alone.
Millions of Europeans succeed to do so every day. And they are not their for their help. They are there to help you, the reader or writer, to be accurate.You mean, "Considered a proud part of our heritage."
We write Irish easily. And German and Spanish and Polish and Breton and French and on and on. You have to learn to use your computer, that's all.
They tell you that, do they?
It's out of date now.
Are you really confused by Kitten, Cat, Queen, and Cider?
Looks alien.
Pretty much.
Not a lot. And it's easy to achieve.
Anomalous vowel length and quality is certainly a problem.
Oh, grow up, you little weasel. French people have to learn how to use their computers. German people have to learn how to use their computers. Irish people have to learn how to use their computers. Welsh people have to learn how to use their computers (and they have font problems too).
There is nothing arrogant about telling a person that it is not difficult to use diacritical marks. All it takes is some learning. When I say to TheElvenLord, "You have to learn to use your computer, that's all", I mean that it isn't easy and that I am sure he is bright enough to manage it. Computers can do a lot of things. Most of us don't learn to use their capabilities till we need to.
And of course if one isn't using a computer, one can use a pencil, or a pen.
"Typical arrogant remark", yeah yeah. Every one of your remarks is typical too.
What have authenticity and computer use got to do each other.
Surly to be authentic, in any spelling system, one should have to use a pen/pencil, or even a quill, computers haven't been around long enough to be classed as "authentic"?
Kernow Kensa!
Our day will come!
