It's Mark Twain

• setr 7y ago
  Probably a pointless thing to note, but apparently maybe not. http://www.i18nguy.com/twain.html http://www.i18nguy.com/twain.html >Note 1: The authorship of this piece is in question. Although frequently posted on the internet as authored by Mark Twain, there are some claims that it is authored by M. J. Shields in a letter by him to the Economist. See http://www.ojohaven.com/fun/spelling.html http://www.ojohaven.com/fun/spelling.html. And from there.. >I did, however, come across one error: the "Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling" that you attribute to Mark Twain is actually (IIRC) a few paragraphs out of a letter to The Economist, written by one M.J. Shields A couple other sites mention the same thing but I didn't bother digging any further
