Nonetheless, a modest reform along the lines of Axel Wijk's would
be a real boon for both English-speakers and English-learners
(which two categories nowadays cover an awful lot). His "Regularized
Inglish" provides one or at most two sounds for each spelling
(letter or combination of up to 4 letters) while keeping many
spellings for each sound (8, IIRC, for the sound /ej/).
I hope to create a web site on Wijk's spelling reform soon.
