We have students memorizing hundreds of different ways to spell words that could be standardized instead of learning word meanings or other subjects. It is such a huge waste of energy.

LOL. You are certainly welcome to take up esperanto.

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?
