	Simplified Spelling Society : Snowling: Nasal clusters. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Their spellings could be regarded as phonetically acceptable although they represented speech sounds in a far less conventional manner than that used by older children who were familiar with the orthography.
		Marcel (1980) observed the same tendency to reduce nasal clusters in the spelling of children who were poor spellers, in adult literacy students and in certain neurological patients.
		Accuracy was less when two separate phonetic segments had to be identified and transcribed as in the final nasal clusters and least when it was necessary to deal with more than two segments as in the nasal cluster preceding syllabic [l] endings.

		Phonetic spelling is the representation of vocal sounds which express pronunciations of words.
		Phonetic spelling constitutes an alteration of ordinary spelling that better represents the spoken language, that employs only characters of the regular alphabet, and that is used in a context of conventional spelling.
		Examples are "Esperanto" and the "International Phonetic Alphabet," which is used to describe pronunciations in some dictionaries, and that used by airplane pilots to communicate.

	The Case Agasint Spelling Reform
		Phonetic spelling would give a continuous picture of the whole history of each word, whereas fixed conventional spelling gives, at best, only a single picture of one episode.
		Statement: Phonetic spelling would cause serious confusion between words of like sound (homophones), now distinguished by different spellings, e.g., right, rite, write, wright buy, by, bye cent, scent, sent hear, here road, rode, rowed hour, our sew, so, sow knew, new to, too, two one, won, etc., etc. Corollaries: A spelling is a word.

	Simplified Spelling Society : The ultimate state. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		But in fact the spelling of English is so muddled and the rules, such as they are, so full of exceptions, it is not possible to tinker with existing spelling and produce a coherent system.
		The complete lack of interest in spelling reform exhibited by governments to date has led to members proposing initiatives for various partial reforms which it is hoped will come about through other channels such as publishers and dictionary makers.
		It is not surprising therefore that many people are attracted to spelling reform by perceiving that a completely new phonetic system is the answer and much energy among members is spent on devising them.

		Spell it correctly and you survive to the next round; spell it incorrectly and you are eliminated.
		In fact, the spelling competitions in Belgium (and in France) are very different from the US ones: the words are used in context, in a real text because the jury checks that participants know their grammar as well (agreement issues are particularly tricky in French).
		Of course phonetic in an area of hundreds of dialects and with less letters in the alphabet than sounds in the language is a mixed blessing so from the second half of the 17th century the process of standardization set in.

	Fanetik: Thoroughgoing Spelling Reform for English, At Least for Teaching
		Spelling reform must include geographic names if it is to be successful and maximally useful.
		Unfortunately, the spelling of English is preposterous, and makes the task of learning to read and write it very hard, not just for people born into other language communities, but even for people born into English-speaking countries.
		But English spelling is so far from either phonetic or consistent that even people who were born and raised in English and use it extensively every day have to resort to wordlists, dictionaries, and spellchecking programs to see how to spell something they want to say or pronounce something they see written.

		English was allowed to fluidly saturate with bizarre and arbitrary spelling before the middle of the 18th century.
		Phonetic spelling removes some links between words that are otherwise obvious -- f'rinstance, "sign" and "signature" are spelled similarly to identify the two words as being based on the same root, but in phonetic spelling there's no indication they're remotely related.
		You can then spell any word by knowing how to pronounce it, but there is a lot of ambiguity in pronouncing a word you see written.

		Children who perform well in spelling bees are no more likely to succeed in college and in life than their comparably-educated peers.

		A well-organized argument can be completely unravelled by poor grammar and spelling -- the credibility of an author is tainted when that author writes something like, "I think your mistaken."

	Chinese logographic writing system
		A character can be decomposed only into radical and phonetic, or into its series of writing strokes, whereas an English word such as shorthands can be considered as one word, or as three morphemes, or two syllables,or eight phonemes, or nine graphemes or ten letters.
		Chinese does have phonetic elements, representing spoken sounds, but according to Wang (1973) it is not possible to read using the phonetic elements without first analysing the whole character to find out which is the phonetic element.
		Although there are about eight hundred 'phonetics', spoken language has changed so much over two thousand years that even experienced readers must guess rather than be sure of the sound of a character, and as well, they must still work out the tone.

		These either use many special symbols, more than the usual 26 letters, that are not readily obtainable even on word processors, or they make use of digraphs such as ch, th, oe, oo, that represent sounds that are clearly not produced by voicing the two letters of which they are formed.
		Similarly the sound of the digraph ch (or the trigraphs tch or tsh) is replaced by ty, and j (or ge or dge) by dy.
		Another alternative spelling scheme that I considered was to use the combinations: bh (for v), ch (using c instead of k), dh (for th as in 'then'), gh (for j), ph (for f), sh, th, zh.

		It is truly the simplest and only such phonetic spelling system there is today that is pronunciation guide quality.

		His new phonetic alphabet consisted all the lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet, minus c, j, q, w, x, and y, which he thought redundant, plus six new letters for sounds which he thought lacked unambiguous orthographic representation.
		Consonant combinations are used to represent such sounds as the ch in chew and the j in jaw.
