This simplification lunacy was all the rage at the beginning of the last century. George Bernard Shaw was one of its proponents, IIRC

So is this the Atlantic’s way of announcing that they’re hiring writers who don’t use big words and can’t spell?

P.S. you want a headache? try learning to spell in Gaelic. It’s as bad as english or worse.

Teddy Roosevelt as President tried to introduce simplified spelling for some words. The schoolteachers of America defeated him.
The Brits can take perfectly good English words that they spell the same as we do, and mispronounce them, instead of pronouncing the correct way as we do in the US.
