I remember having read a short story about the reduction of the (German) alphabet some years ago. The story is very short (only a few pages), but the interesting thing about it was that during the story, the reduced alphabet was used in the story itself. I don't remember everything, but e.g. the author explains why the reduction from f
,v
,w
to f
is sufficient, so that the german car manufacturer Volkswagen reads then as "folksfagen".
Does anyone
- have read the story as well?
- remember the year, the title, or the author of it?
I hope this question is not to strange, if there is a better place to ask it, just move the question.
