Transcription	English Translation
Der Nestor der amerikanischen Humoristen tritt eifrig für die neue Rechtschreibung ein. Dann sollte er seinen Namen Samuel Langhorne Clemens aber auch nicht Mark Twain aussprechen.	The doyen of American humorists eagerly advocates for the spelling reform. To be consistent, he should not pronounce his name - Samuel Langhorne Clemens - as Mark Twain.
