But, that sounds like an educational show to me, teaching children to
read. And if so, then of course any such thing would be obsoleted by a
new spelling system. You'd just create new programs to teach children
the new system.
And, I'm sure that children would learn at least a little about the old
spelling, or at least that there *was* an old orthography. So, if they
see old shows, and there's a reference to the illogical spelling, they'd
just chalk it up to "That must've been one of the weird things about the
old way"
