These people probably don't know the difference between 'there', 'their', and 'they're' or 'to', 'two', and 'too'.

I am certain that they do not have a plan to differentiate between homophones other than saying, "The reader can figure it out from the context."

This does not help children or non-native speakers who have to attach meaning to the word in order to place it in context.

There are too many ways to spell the word "two" "to" "too" "tu."
