	cut spelling - cutspelling
		Cut Spelling is a system of English-language spelling reform which reduces redundant letters and makes substitutions to improve correspondence with the spoken word.
		Cut Spelling differs from "traditional orthography" mainly in removing letters from words and makes relatively few substitutions of letters compared with other proposed reforms.
		Cut Spelling does not eliminate all doubled letters: in some words (especially two-syllable words) the doubled consonant letter is needed to differentiate from another differently pronounced word (e.g., holly and holy).

		Cut Spelling eliminates some of the worst examples of traditional spelling but it is not entirely systematic or consistent.
		Cut Spelling, however, is much more phonemic than TO and does eliminate about 80% of the problems that new learners have with the traditional orthography (TO) and it does so without disturbing the appearance of most words.

	Groups Want to Revise English Spelling Rules
		The London-based group, Simplified Spelling Society, prefers what it calls "cut spelling," a technique, which leaves out unpronounced letters like the 'k', which is the silent first letter in the word, knife, or the silent 'b' in the word, subtle.
		If spelling reform groups have their way, children and others learning the language would no longer be confounded by words that now look similar, but sound different, such as cow and low.
		He uses as an example the word "knight," which, when spelled with a silent 'k' at the start, means an ancient warrior, or a title bestowed by a monarch, and the same word without the silent 'k,' which means nighttime, the opposite of day.

	Spelling is a social invention
		Cut spelling is not highly phonemic but it is more phonemic than traditional English orthography.
		Phonemic or 100% alphabetic spelling looks a little strange to those brought up on a steady diet of the traditional English orthography that is consistent only about 40% of the time.
		In fact, it is often redundant and can be cut, as seen from such rhyming pairs as apple/ chapel, centre/enter: CS Rule 1 cut the silent in apple, centre, and the resulting appl, centr show that unstressed can be cut in chapel, enter too, giving CS chapl, entr.

	Better English Spelling (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most spelling systems are rule based and the rules are often limited to the assignment of a particular symbol to a speech sound.
		The Simplified Spelling Society started out with New Spelling and then concluded that this was too radical and moved their support to CUT SPELLING and what is now known as ALC Soundspel.
		To accept the shorter more phonemic spelling, you have to understand that an alphabetic writing system is supposed to be written in sound signs and that the virtue of the phonemic symbol approach is that every student learns to read and write quicker and that more people are able to scale the threshold of literacy.

		In these days of information overload, it is silly that our children spend so much of their prime learning years learning spelling that appears to be derived as some kind of sick acedemic/esoteric joke, or an attempt to rarify writing and keep it out of the hands of the masses.
		Spelling in English is an idiot-savant skill unrelated, as far as I know, to any important or useful mental capacity.
		But it wouldn't hurt at all to exile spelling from the school curriculum (the task is now automated--though not perfectly owing to homonyms--by spell-checking software) and save lots of time for teaching important stuff, like writing.

		The most acceptable introduction to spelling reform indicated by experimental research is to clear clutter from present spelling by omitting useless letters from words (Yule 1991).
		Surplus letters are least missd when cut from towards the end of words and sentences and from less frequent words, so these are the best sites to initiate omissions and to introduce readers to spelling reform.
		This and following sections are written with moderat cutting of surplus letters and F replacing PH, to familiarise readers with an unobtrusiv introduction to this reform by shedding of clutr.

		And through it all we must cope with an archaic language, the tortured spellings and mystical grammar of which pose a constant challenge.
		We all suffer from its irregularity: it takes much longer to learn than more regular systems; it inhibits free expression; it causes mispronunciation; it is handled erratically by most people, with even skilled writers prone to uncertainty and error; and it depresses educational standards (millions are functionally illiterate).
		Many languages with more regular spellings have modernized their writing in the past century, and several English-speaking countries modernized their currency and/or weights & measures in the 1970s.
