    They might sound similar but have different meanings.

    Ize (hard sounding) is water as it is turning to ice.
    Ise (soft sounding) is ice as it is turning to water.

    Came up in my Junior Cert.

    People hate the idea but txt spk tends to be more consistent and phonetically correct. And dropping the unnecessary vowels (and using context to understand which words are which) makes writing quicker and easier to learn.


    It's how written Arabic works and is far superior to the bloated English of today.
