Masha Bell.

I recently had a chance to see a debate through a series of emails between Masha Bell and Vivian Cook, on the merits of spelling reform.Masha pitched for and Vivian against.People have been discussing this for quite some while.Reformers have been struggling to persuade the rest of the world ever since the incorporation of the society, but it hasn’t taken any shape yet.Being a spelling reform protagonist, I strongly believe that we need some regularization of English.And she put forth her mind quite well.I was pretty impressed with the conversation, until I saw addendum simplified glossary link. And I did a little search to check what the world think of it.
Almost everybody commented on this. Everybody is so opinionated, except a few like Percy Balemans (pbtranslations.com). As we always oppose change, so nothing new to it.Some said if Poor is Por, Your is Yor, Worse is Wors; then what about horse or hors. ( louise dade).Only the BBC web-page seem healthy to me. The good thing is that it created a stir. But it was too less to opine; too short to form opinionated interpretations, good or bad.Every healthy debate on reforms should be encouraged. I commend BBC.Why did they only notice the ‘wors’?What about the rest of it?Some called her a ‘foreigner’ and ‘ an idiot’; and the society ‘The moron’s society of people who can’t spell’.Who is more idiot than someone who himself is foreign to the difficulties their kids face in the real world?This all came from someone who just ain’t an idiot, but also inconsiderate. At least the society recognizes it.It was just an attempt to bring to notice that something is hindering the language acquisition, and we can do something to make it little easy for all those who feel distraught when they see word, worm, world, and even worse.And what about norm, storm, horn, etc., and warm, warn, and barn, farm, etc.They is a discontent on the level we want our spelling to be phonetic, to want extend we want to push our brains to remember words?The problem could be at the project front. Even if the society proposes spellings to be phonetic, we have got to remember specific patterns for similar sounds.It was just a suggestion.They clearly dont want to lower down the education standards; just want to add a little sense to it. (gwil.com)This might be coming from someone who himself is a reform protagonist, but I blindly dont agree to whatever they propose.I see it as a tender for a more reliable set of data, a more intelligent approach to the whole concept.Just free expressions of thought processes in the form of few nicely written articles won’t do any good. A lifestyle wherein we think about something so intensely for two or three days, and sleep on it the third day; you see an opportunity in something in new the fourth day, and you forget the previous ones the same day.Does anybody except the society think of it anymore? Not quite a many.Did any of those refined writers notice anything more than just wors?I dont think so.I happen to see the whole glossary. Real good suggestions except a few:Cupl.Difrence.Singl.Simpl.Therefor.Debateable: Peeple; Wors; Phonnic; Onely; Adicted; Bennefit, Tu,Exceptionally good: Memmory, Munny, Moast, Yung, Yor, Wer, Verry, Wun.
