In relation to the article on simplefinging the english language, i to agree it could do beter. There are some english words wich i find not logic at all. (for instands: Touch, trough.) Or the diffrence in prenauncing "angel" or "angle". How come the letters at the back change but are still pronounced the same and the letters at the front stay the same but sound nothing alike?

i dont think we should change the english lanugage, i think we should just teach people better.

lowering the bar will just make people stupider, how about we stop lowering the bar for education, spelling and grammer ... soon everyone will have a degree and no one will have an IQ above 100.

im not the best speller in the world and my grammer is terrible but i wouldnt change stuff just to make it easier.

Each region has it's own pronunciation for different letter combinations. If you were to try to simplify the written language, you would have to homogenize the spoken language, which probably isn't going to happen because what Welshman would want to sound like a Liverpudlian, what Brit would want to sound American, etc.

In answer to the questions about why certain letter groups are pronounced one way in this instance and another in that instance, the cause is because we have adopted words from nearly all other languages on the globe into the English language.

Newspeak lol.

I don't support it. But it's a neat idea.

Grammar has too many rules too :) I see nothing wrong with "I buyed a cake." Follows the -ed past tense rule.
