possibly glasscock but OH MY GOD PLEASE NO don't legitimise the rape of a beautiful language.

The day that the official spelling becomes "butiful" will be a sad day indeed.

argh!

This makes me angry on many different levels!
Not least because they are slaughtering a decent language to bring the bar closer to the chavish prole!
(sorry if you're a chavish prole)

as a dyslexic student of literature i find this disturbing

i can't spell for shit, but thats what spell-check and the dictionary were invented for.

These people are just bored sociologists with nothing better to ruin.
*edit* and incredible tolerance for idiocy
**edit edit** ROFL just noticed that the sociologist is blaming 'spelling' for the rise in single parent numbers....

It takes at least twice as long to read that text in the stupid spelling.

Fuck the children (not literally), I only care about my own ability to read. If they're too thick to learn to read, that's their fault.

And "moast"? That's making it harder to spell.

(Cuthbert Annihilator, Tue 10 Jul 2007, 18:02, archived)

But then it would be pronounced "bootiful"

The phonetic alphabet would have to change as well, we'd actually end up with MORE letters to make a "u" either a "oo" or a "ew" or a "eau" or whatver sound. We'd end up with more accents on vowels. If anything it would just make things more complicated.

Sounds to me like a dyslexic person got bullied at school for being unable to spell and is now trying to make the whole world like her. While we're at it let's force feed Big Macs to skinny people.
