Floor spelt as 'plua' feels a bit outdated. I laughed at it myself because I would prefer 'flo'.
Wall spelt as 'wol' and is fine except world is also spelt as 'wol'. Should we just as a "d" and make it 'wold' for differentiation purpose?
Do you care about written Tok Pisin, what was your encounter with words and spellings?
My reflection here may highlight only the tip of a bigger picture namely, readers' attitudes towards written Tok Pisin.
What are the factors that positively and negatively affect readership in Tok Pisin?
Who has the vision, time and resource to pursue this matter?
