Inglish taked words from all over da planet. Ech word has a history and a story. And dat story is often telled by da spelleng.
If by sum totalitarean madnes, spelling wer modernized, all existeng books, magazenes, and librarys wuld be rendered obsolete.
But da most offensiv thing here is tu suggest dat fixeng spelleng wuld fix educashon. No, the same jokers dumeng it down now wuld use these fixes tu make it even dumer. Thay'd hav an all-purpose excuse forever.
@lsatep The only reason you think they're "dumeng it down" is because you're so used to an irregular spelling system where all the words have a complicated spelling that you have to remember for each word and you are so used to judging people on how the spell. Well you're wrong because they making it PHONETIC improves literacy rates. Sure, I agree with the etymology part but no one cares about it any more. JUST PUT ETYMOLOGY IN A DICTIONARY AND FORGET ABOUT IT!
