Hi,

As a Dutch I must warn you, spelling changes are like an avalanche,
whence
you start changing, you'll keep changing.
The Chinese can't understand each other at all, the different dialects I
mean, but they all can read it. Maybe written English will become the
lingua
franca of the Anglo Saxon tribes in the Diaspora... Better, not change
too
much.
I checked my contribution for spelling miss haps...it's perfect.

Ode to the Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
it nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
its letter; perfect awl the weigh
my checker tolled me sew.
A little poem. . .
Just to give you a general idea.
