Marhak has been misled here by propaganda.
Kernewek Kemmyn is not based upon a database, faulty or otherwise.
He may not appreciate that every criticism of KK is taken seriously, and examined carefully.
It is important to the developers (plural) of KK that it be the best orthography available.
So if any criticisms are found to be substantiated, then steps are taken to correct errors.
These usually concern the misspelling of a few individual words.
Occasionally structural faults come to light and these are also corrected.
As a (now rather old) example, Marhak mentioned the matter of tj/dj.
More recently, Keith Bailey drew attention to the existence of the /yw/ phoneme.
I understand that the Language Board recently agreed that words containing it be spelled with <uw>.
Williams has identified what he claims are other structural faults.
These claims of alleged flaws have similarly been scrutinised. None has been found to be valid. The phonology is not mistaken.
Yes the 'experts' should be allowed to discuss it freely but what they should refrain from doing is having childish slanging matches on a public internet forum which just make everyone look silly.
As for Pawls remarks about my views on democracy and majority rule. Pawl surely a democracy must listen to and protect its minorities as well?
You know with the Celtic Devonshire / Devonwall movement being so quiet at the momment I wonder if they haven't actually invested the Cornish language scene in order to cause disent and disagreement.
When you come up with a good answer, they never admit defeat. The just go quiet for a while, then start up again as if nothing had happened. The temptation is to begin explaining whatever it was all over again. But it's pointless really, as much use as talking to a brick wall.
The other day I found a list of their claims from a couple of years ago. Most of them have been refuted several times over but they're still coming out with them. You know, "rigged meeting", "faulty secret database", "magic algorithym", "one man & a computer", "not qualified", "Kesva strong-arm tactics", "all just theory", "sustained criticism", "no academic support", "we're all arrogant", "nobody uses it anyway (unless they've been forced to)", "copied from Breton (or Welsh)", "trad. texts not written like English", on and on, and the same for a whole list of technical linguistic points which I won't bore you with here.
All bullshite, but they won't be told. I'm fed up of refuting all this over and over, I need to spend more time with my language
Don't believe a word of it -- "Empty vessels make most sound".
