I read yesterday a professor of University College of London (John Wells?) proposes to abolish the spelling in English language, because the many problem it generate.
The problem is little mysterious to me, because in italian language like the spanish, the words are written exactly like we pronounce them (a part very few exceptions, memoryzed from the first grade school), so I never thought other languages can have this problem when spoken from mother language people.
For a mother language english is really so difficult made the spelling of some words? or it is a exaggeration of journalist?
