Well versed in literatur and languaj, hi is/waz an inner citi substitut techer, a fervent belever in soshealizm, a ritter for strength magazins and hi spok fluent Russian (among many other things). One of hiz stranjer eksentrisitiez waz hiz idea that English shood be ritten foenetically. Hiz thouht waz that this wood help English becom THE internashional languaj for the globalized world, az well az expanding aksess, literasy and understanding to people in the US. I find it profoundly interesting that hi coold lern the rulz of a dificult languaj lik Russian, wat with itz extra letterz and all, and feel compeled to so thoroughly break English.

Jus az ther spoken Wordz hav power to shap how wi think and feel, wordz ar danjerous things and coach iz a danjerous man Hi new a lot about weitlifting thouh… *My best take at phonetic spelling, its fucking hard!
