Ha ha. You respond with an extreme. As I pointed out, almost every other language has had spelling reform and they are now much easier to use. We don't need to invent a new language due to the difficulties in English. We just need to simplify the spelling system in English. What is so frightening about fixing our language so that it is written in the same way that it sounds?
I should have put a smiley in there. :-)
I understand the problems with english for non-natives. Personally, I don't have much problems with it myself. If you are really a stickler about spelling, most of the time, if you run into a word you can't spell, there are normally at least 3 other ways to say the same thing that you can.
If "we" decide to 'reform' spelling, it will inevitably lead to a 'reform' of grammar as well. I mean, if you really want to get a non-native speaker riled up about english as a language, start a discussion of tenses! If they start revising grammar, they are likely to get rid of zeugmas entirely, as it is a pretty obscure part of speech to begin with. That would suck.
Maybe it's just the old conservative in me, but I can live with things as they are.
