The Anti-Spellers

9:03

While 288 spellers have gathered for this bee and 11 million have participated in earlier spelling contests, there is a group out there that wants to change the way we spell words.

The Spelling Society says the chaotic English spelling is a further hindrance to people with dyslexia and argues for changing English to be a phonetic language.

--Neil Simon

  1. Neil, far from being anti-spellers, we protesters ar probbably mor pro-spellers than your average Joe and Jo.
    We beleev an alfabetic spelling sistem sure beets hieroglyfics or logograms (eg, Chinese). But the English alfabetic sistem moks the alfabet, which was ment to make coding and decoding ritten words a matter of logic, rather than memory.
    To be a good speller u virtually hav to memorize the dictionary (ask enny participant in the Bee!).

    We ar not advocationg fonetic spelling. We AR advocating rules-based, reliable, predictable spelling. For instance, at present we hav a rule that ses ad ‘s’ or ‘es’ to a noun to make it plural. So, ‘cats’, ‘dogs’. But ‘dogs’ is pronounced ‘dogz’. That particular rule is likely to remane, so also wil the ‘dogs’ spelling.
    That wil make it eesier for mor lerners to becum literat.

  2. The only kind of comments I ever get are from people who constantly disagree with me. Generally liberals douchebags who want me to stop bashing on Obama, or Atheists who like to tell me that I’m psychotic for “worshipping magical men in the sky” (yes I got told that once.) So, all I attract are trolls.2004 Dodge Caravan AC Compressor
