“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
THE QUESTIONNABLE SINKING OF THE OLYMPIA 1912
The official history of the sinking of the Titanic does not completely make sense, there was a sister ship called Olympia which was launched two years before the Titanic. Unfortunately it was hit by a First World War USA destroyer and her back was broken a death warrant for a ship.
However it carries on sailing for another 30 years, there was a time of one week where both ships were moved in and out of the dry dock several times and the Olympia had slight modifications to look more like the Titanic.
There are lots of information which you can read on this but there is no actual proof either way on which ship actually sank on that dreadful day.
