After a few generations, the Newwrite, as I shall call it, will be a easy to read (for those who grew up on it) as Nowwrite (as I shall call this) is to us. Actually, it will be easier. And by dumbing down the nation, the general population gets relatively smarter. That is to say, fewer people will be considered dumb.

That's no a good thing. If we switch to Newwrite, it will become quite difficult for Americans to read things written in England, Australia, Canada, and anywhere else where Nowwrite is used. We would have to translate British books to American. "I translate books from English to American." Sounds dumb. And frankly, I don't see the big deal about armour, favourite, colour, theatre, centre, etc. In fact, I, like Reine, prefer the English spelling.

And what right do we have to complain? Sure we've got words with complicated spellings, but what about other languages? German, Spanish, French... spelling is pretty easy. But what about Japanese? Sure, pronunciation is easy, and it's quite easy to write, but they have THREE systems of writing: hiragana, katana (the last two are very easy to read and write) and kanji. Oh, kanji! You hurt my brain! So many different pronunciations for each kanji, and so many kanji... But are the Japanese trying to get rid of that? Not to my knowledge (though in the 60s, I believe, the Japanese government did simplify a few kanji). And what about the Chinese? They only have kanji. They have to memorize thousands of kanji, many of which are very complicated. So who are we to demand Newwrite?
