RocknRoLLercOmMuNiCATionBuZZ!!

....and once more, Worldwidepeepers of the Glowing Screen, it's yir StonedHolyBlogger in Residence
a-tap-tap-tappin' away at the keyboard for the want of finding something to do and filling some more of my seconds & minutes and distracting my fevered mind from the Godless Desert of Time & Space currently Howling round our Cerulean Island Planet Home!

So here I am, breaking down words into syllables and phonemes and building them up anew with these handy little symbols we group together and call an Alphabet. Of course, the written down or, in this instance, keyboard hammered oot, English Language presents difficulties, seeing as it's so Melontwistingly Unphonetic. But ahma Native speaker and an A-Grade Swot so it's no problem for me...although if yi heard ma native speech yi might no think so! But it's exactly because every language must sound like so much Foolish
Blah-Blah-Blah to Folks who use another one that this Alphabet mallarkey comes in so damn handy.
Through a  closer scrutiny of  The StonedHolyBlogger's Vernacular Manglings of 'proper' English and his Demotic Stylings on screen & page we can, I hope, begin to discern just why those Phoenicians of Yore were some Smart Cookies when they first realised their language could be hammered down  to consonnants & vowels & subsequently started started scribbling down their Alephs & Beths on papyrus.

Quite how the Chinese manage with their huge, unwieldy store of ideograms & symbols keeps me awake at night, I can tell you! If you've ever seen a Chinese Typewriter you'll know exactly what I mean! Maybeez it is, they should take the plunge and switch over to an Alphabet of their own. Since the Turks under Ataturk managed just that in the 1920's, I believe it's not too late. Japanese Syllabaries, be it Hiragana or Katakana or Kanji or whatever the hell else they've got, are an improvement of sorts but problems remain.

So it is, the StonedHolyBlogger beseeches you ; surely you see that when it comes to capturing a Mouthful of Air, an Alphabet is the only sensible way to go. Then again, let us curtail these brief ponderings on modes of Transcribing Speech with the Realisation that whatever system your Education & Cultural Heritage has Bequeathed unto you matters not, for ultimately they are but attempts to represent something we learn to do as mere infants ; Talk!

Yes, all this Typrewritercraziness exists because ahma Virtual Blabbermouth...and I ain't even runnin on Chemical Speed! Ah could tap away here at great length about Speech as that which defines us as
Human-Type-hombres but why bother. The StonedHolyBlogger's Medium may not be The Message but why feel the need to explain further. The rocknrollercommunicationbuzz gets into yir Bloodstream quicker and has a Sexier 4/4 Beat! It has been said that Rock N Roll is a Dangerous Thing - A Little Revolution with a Sexual Swing! Couldn't agree more....of course, it wiz me that said it but you will understand more fully once you realise that although Music is of the Ether it's Resonances can still be Profound, it's Vibrations Effecting!

Words Tapped out for Cyber-Readers are one thing but NEVER, NEVER Cyberpeepers, lose sight of the Fact that they are a Mighty Bloodless Substitute for StonedHolyRollers in the Round & Firm & Fully Packed  Three Dimensional Reality where 3 or 4 Minds can Crack!!

Ahv typed enough for now, amigos. Bon Chance! Viel Spass! Over n Oot!
