IntroductionThis is the Babel Text in English written using the Petersonian English Alphabet (or the PEA, as I call it). Since spelling is destandardized when using the PEA, this Babel Text will reflect the translator's pronunciation. [Note: This isn't a serious spelling reform, since the creator doesn't wish to promote it. It's more of a "what if".]
