Geocache Description:

The Legacy of 

George Bernard Shaw



 

 

George Bernard Shaw
Excerpted from the Preface to R.A. Wilson’s The Miraculous Birth of Language (1941)

Professor Wilson has shewn that it was as a reading and writing animal that Man achieved his human eminence above those who are called beasts. Well, it is I and-my like who have to do the writing. I have done it professionally for the last sixty years as well as it can be done with a hopelessly inadequate alphabet devised centuries before the English language existed to record another and very different language, Even this alphabet is reduced to absurdity by a foolish orthography based on the notion that the business of spelling is to represent the origin and history of a word instead of its sound and meaning.

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, to solve the puzzle you must answer the following riddle:

What do you get when you cross George Bernard Shaw with the IPA?
