Groups Want to Revise English Spelling Rules
Council President Alan Mole says the English language would be less problematic, if spelling rules were changed. It would increase literacy among the general population, and make learning English easier for children and non-English speakers.
“English has thousands of weird spellings, so learning in sound-spell [spelling as it sounds], instead, will be a great boon to them, and could make English so easy [to learn] that it becomes the true international language,” he said.
