I have tried to state the historical facts as I understand them. As an historian, Marghek, you should understand that. If you think some of my statements are 'loaded', then you must think they are untrue or misleading. Please tell me which bits you believe to be untrue or misleading and give your reasons.
Seventy Percent of "competent & frequent" Cornish users prefer to write KK! (MAGA/CLP Survey)
It would seem that Keith takes the view that those who don't agree with him are mindless, abusive prevaricators. Notice that by his own reckoning, at least, no-one is allowed simply to disagree with his opinions. As has been pointed out before, such horrid people have got to be either ignorant ["mindless"], wicked ["abusive"] or liars ["prevaricators"]. Here, we're all three!
When I (briefly) studied Psychology at college, we learned a word for this sort of mental delusion: 'Projection', which is when someone attributes to other people the flaws and defects they're not willing to recognise in themselves.
And 'morvran' ('Honest Keith', as he'd prefer to be known) is a text-book case of this syndrome in all respects.
After all, remember his charming phrases (on the CornishOrthography forum) for those of us who prefer traditional Cornish: "pathetic bad losers, who deserve no respect", and "devious lying cheating little s-h-i-t bags".
MIrror, mirror, on the wall . . . what an apt self portrait!

Now I've heard it all! The inventor of KK is hardly going to disagree with Keith's propaganda ploy, is he? Or two other KK supporters (only two? I thought they had hundreds).
Time to crow, Keith when non-KK users line up and agree with your loaded questions. And they haven't yet. None of them.
I'll answer in my own good time. Right now, I have more important work to finish.
Actually I didn't post the list to ask for agreement, I wanted to see where you and others would disagree, and what evidence you could produce to prove your point. My intention is to put an end to the fairystories and urban myths, to get your faction to put up or shut up. (Probably a vain hope but still ...)

If they are fibs disprove them? I am not a hardened KK supporter I use it, but I first learn't UC. I see both sides of the arguement but i don't understand where any of Morvrans points as unbelievable? I find it hard to believe that any Cornishman let alone a group of Cornish people would let other hoodwink them in to signing up for a new form without massive protest... From what I've seen and read about, i see no evidence of massive uproar... I find it improbable that the language would have survived if a new form was pushed apon people, it would more likely implode.
Those that post in Cornish here, all use KK, the Agan Tavas lot have only just started learning,or never studied the language. and can only write in short sentences, cribbed from one of the texts books or NJW's Dictionary,(hello Eddie). Anyone with the slightest intelligence could switch back and forth between UC/UCR and KK.
In fact once you become a fairly fluent reader, you hardley notice the orthography.The anti KK crowd seem to be lacking in brain matter on this issue.
