SlMPLlFlED SPELLING
Prof. Edward j. Erwin,
Assistant Professor of English
University of Mississippi.
. <~~A . . = . . 80 . =

When the first list of three hun
dred words was published in 1906 by
the Simplified Spelling Board, the
movement was received with protest
and ridicule by the country at large
and regarded as a passing fad. Since
that time, many of it's proposed
changes have been accepted without
really being aware of the fact; more
radical lists have been published
without calling forth the comments
which greeted the mild suggestions
ogists, educators and editors of the
country have become members of the
board or it's advisory council; sew
eral prominent periodicals have adopt
ed the principles Of reformed spell
ing: and thousands thruout the cOun
try have signified their approval Of
the proposed changes. 1t is a sub
ject, therefore, that should be of in
terest to every user of the English
language.
Simplified spelling is based on sound
principles From phonetic stand
| point the English language is far be-
hind all other civilized languages. The
same combination of letters is pro-
nounced differently in different
words; the same sound is expressed
by different combinations of letters.
The object that simplified spelling
| has in view is to make the English
language as perfectly phonetic as the
present alphabet will permit. THE
| IDEAL" says Mr. Loundsbury, "is that
the moment a man sees the syllable
he shall know how to pronounce it. .
/ The first list of three hundred
words advised the choice of the SIM
pier of two possible ways of spelling
word. For instance, between quar-
tette and quartet, programme and
I program, catalogue and catalog. ia
YOUR and favor, centre and center.
mediaevsl and medieval, ETC., the
simpler of the two ways is preferred.
The following words were also simpli-
fed: plough to plow, through to thro
and though tho. Most of these sug-
gestions have been generally adopted
The only radical suggestions was in
the case of past participles in which
the ending led" takes the sound OF
1T. In this case the 81 would be
substituted, as adopt for adopted. kist
for Kissed. etc.
The second third and fourth lists
contain more sweeping changes which
affect the spelling of a large number
iof worG-. Only a few of these can be
mentioned. The most natural change
