A Minnesotan Completes Phonetic Bible Translation
Judson Jones of Cleveland Minnesota has finished a phonetic Bible translation using his own system that removes silent letters. He began 21 years ago at age 68 and now holds prominence in phonetic spelling, with his Alphabet of Orthography and Its Application in Monosyllables once popular in schools. His system is used by dictionaries in the United States and England and, he predicts, may become standard in 190 years. The Jones method is already used in Chinese English schools for nine years.
