Do you think there should be a referendum on english spelling?
english spelling is hard enough for english people, let alone foreigners so do you think that english should adopt a strict new pronounciation based method of spelling? this would almost be impossible with the current english alphabet but if more clear vowel sounds were available and strict letters stood for strict sounds i think it could easily work and be easily adopted by the world's english speaking population. english is 1 incredibly difficult language to learn and then mastering to write it is a whole new challenge. for instance: "th" can make 2 different sounds such as in "the" or "three". "c" can make the sound of either a "k" or an "s" and what's the point of having an "x" because this is just the same as "ks"!! english has more vowel sounds than actual vowels so maybe it could adopt things like accents, cirflexes(hats) and the little dots to make the pronounciation clearer. i reallt think this would work and i would like to hear your views and ideas on it please!!!
