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. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org I am a member of a civilization. --David Brin
