This looks weird. It looks weird for about a week. Then English starts looking weird, because you begin noticing that “does” doesn’t rhyme with “goes.”

Adish is English with the bugs fixed. Every letter has one sound. Every sound has one spelling. If you can say a word, you can spell it. If you can read a word, you can say it. There are no exceptions, no silent letters, and no memorizing. The whole language fits on one page, and you just read the rest of this site in it.

Welcome to Adish. Your spelling test scores are about to be perfect.
