They are starting from a corporate level as opposed to approaching literary types as has been the traditional approach. The Times argues however, and I agree which is why I am posting this, that attempts at spelling reform are doomed to fail due to some nature of language. They also argue however that language is ever evolving, and that it is a force like that of Adam Smith's invisible hand guiding the market place that guides our language reform. Any responces?
