New York Times had an editorial today on spelling reform mentioning
an organization pushing for spelling reform.  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?
