Some people need to take some time to chill out; not picket.
Illogical spellings lead to dyslexia? Even if there were a chance of it being true (I'd be far more inclined to believe dyslexia would simply show up more because of them), why should anyone care?
Harder lives for immigrants? Yeah, let's standardize spellings. That'll do it. No problems, then, huh?
"The protesters contend that the illogical spelling of English words makes dyslexia more difficult to overcome and helps explain studies that suggest one in five Americans are functionally illiterate."
I don't know why, but that reminded me of a random Jack Handey Deep Thought. Strange. And funny.
"If these people were able to read and write with a simplified spelling system, they would be able to fill out a job application, stay employed and stay out of prison," said Sanford Silverman, 86. The retired accountant was handing out copies of his book, "Spelling for the 21st Century: The Case for Spelling Reform."
Wow, that doesn't even some strange linking to Jack handey in my brain to be funny!
I almost want to meet these people, but at the same time, would feel bad about hurting their feelings in front of them 😛.
