Time to change how we spell wurdz?
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13716134/?GT1=8307

When “say,” “they” and “weigh” rhyme, but “bomb,” “comb” and “tomb” don’t, wuudn’t it maek mor sens to spel wurdz the wae thae sound?

Those in favor of simplified spelling say children would learn faster and illiteracy rates would drop. Opponents say a new system would make spelling even more confusing.

Eether wae, the consept has yet to capcher th publix imajinaeshun.


I oppose. One I would hate to learn how to write badly on purpose and two I would hate for my children and grandchildren to grow up not being able to understand any of the classics.
