I get this funny feeling I've never seen so many (unintentional!) spelling mistakes as I could see in your posts to this article.
This could either mean the most valiant defenders of orthodox spelling are frustrated pretenders, which have always had problems with spelling (and want to perpetuate them to the next generations, so they could too suffer as they did)... or it may simply mean it is one of the few articles that got slashdotted only by americans.
My opinion: WE DO NEED SOME (GRADUAL) ENGLISH SPELLING REFORMS. You know, just like any other language, as English is not infallible, immutable, or eternal. Nor is it a holy language (forget about the KJV bullshit they're teaching you in Sunday school).
