I read through your comments, and can you elaborate as to the reason you thought it necessary to post this?

You want to reform spelling? In what way?

Illiteracy? How is that the fault of or tie into the National Spelling Bee? It sounds like you want to dumb it down, make it "more inclusive" in order to make it more "fair."

It seems to me that it should be hard. Kind of like the difference of riding around the block versus winning the Tour De France.
