Which dialect is going to be used as (the basis of) the lingua franca?
Will the forcing of children to whom the lingua franca is foreign
simply be redefined as "not-bullying"? What about English-speakers
outside of the United States? How will they be persuaded to learn the
new spelling? Or is the United States going to be an orthographic
island, like Taiwan?
