WASHINGTON — When "say," "they" and "weigh" rhyme, but "bomb," "comb" and "tomb" don't, wouldn't it make more sense to spell words the way they sound? Those in favor of "simplified" spelling say children would learn faster and illiteracy rates would drop. Opponents say a new system would make spelling even more confusing. Under the new way, the following paragraph would be: Eether wae, the consept has yet to capcher th publix imajinaeshun. (Either way, the concept has yet to capture the public's imagination.)

I'd absolutely love to know how they'd plan to standardize how words sound. For example, what about the word "word" and how it will be spelled? "Wurd" or "werd" both sound right - even "word" does for that manner - so what is the correct way to spell it how it sounds? Different people would obviously spell it different ways based on personal opinion. Now you just have a breakdown altogether of what's going on.
