NO EPHS OR CAYS

A Phew Diphphuculties

We began the publication of the Roccay Mountain Cyclone with a phew diphphuculties. The type phounders phrom whom we bought our outphit phor this printing ophice phailed to supply us with any ephs or cays, and it will be phour or phive weex bephore we can get any. The mistaque was not phound out till a day or two ago. We have ordered the missing letters, and will have to get along without them till they come. We don’t lique the loox ov this variety ov spelling any better than our readers, but mistaques will happen in the best regulated phamilies, and iph the phs and cays and xs and qs hold out, we shall ceep (sound the c hard) the Cyclone whirling, aphter a phasion, till the dorts arrive. It is no joque to us – it is a serious aphphair.

From the Rocky Mountain Cyclone, 1887
