The Spelling Progress Digest
for June, 2008
Permanent link here || Archive here Diligently compiled by Joe Little of the American Literacy Council. ____________ Reply here. ____________ Dear literacy friend,
Now, where were we? Ah yes: anglophone communities thruout the world love literacy and fight illiteracy to the tune of kazillion$ in time, talent and treasure--yet are marked by a 20% illiteracy rate across the board, from generation to generation. Tho it's true enuf that funky english spelling is at the root of funky english illiteracy, most folks say, "oh well, what can I do?" Interestingly, the internet is keeping us abreast of (and driving to some extent) mainstream published spelling progress. In other words, simplified spellings such as 'u' (you) are sprouting up and growing in mainstream texts thruout the world--spellings u and i may use on a regular basis. Spellings in the list below are cases in point, i.e. clear, current, lowercase, non-italicized, and non-quote spellings that are are moving into the mainstream. Please note: some spellings--like 'dialog' and its inflections--have moved into the mainstream so thoroly they are in a virtual dead-heat with their ugly step-sister (aka 'dialogue' and its inflections). In other words 'dialog' is a clear/present success-- and 'dialogue' will annually lose value relative to 'dialog' as surely as a tree grows up. It happens: 'catalog' overtook 'catalogue' so we don't search for it anymore. How easily we forget the innumerable successes; they reassure us that keeping abreast of (and driving) simplification is a fruitful endeavor. Here is the latest progress (well, movement) with these forms:
