Having cornered the electronics market, diversifying into phonics seems logical and we are only talking about a 4% market share at this point. So from this moment on, the i is ours”.</p> <p>Englsh language cause célèbre Lynn Truss announced that she was “horrfed by ths typographc development”, but London teenager Mchael Enrght (14), shrugged hs shoulders and rolled hs eyes, before tellng reporters that he margnalsed all the vowels from texts “snce ages ago.
