Lkr Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Roberta Mahoney, 81, a former Fairfax County, Va. elementary school principal, said the current language obstructs 40 percent of the population from learning how to read, write and spell. "Our alphabet has 425-plus ways of putting words together in illogical ways," Mahoney said. The protesting cohort distributed pins to willing passers-by with their logo, "Enuf is enuf. Enough is too much." According to literature distributed by the group, it makes more sense for "fruit" to be spelled as "froot," "slow" should be "slo," and "heifer" — a word spelled correctly during the first oral round of the bee Thursday by Texas competitor Ramesh Ghanta — should be "hefer."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100603/ap_on_re_us/us_spelling_bee_protest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly3rs18 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 so she pretty much wants to change how every single word is spelled? which would force the entire country and every other english speaking country to relearn english it would take more work to change everything then it would be to learn english how it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
