Subject: RE: BS: Why spelling reform can never work
NOOOOOOO!! Please, not universal Hull spelling, my proofreading days have left a lasting impression and I can't bear to see things mis-spelled....
I've even taken Selfriges (top London store in Oxford St) to task about its' "not moving" paper and occassional tables....
Phonetic won't work either until the whole world speaks with a mid west American accent. My daughter learns things aurally at school, she's come home tonight singing 'Hark the herald angels' and how Christ was barn in Bethlehem.... thank you so much, Mormon Tabernacle Choir!
