Academic wants to 'free up' English spelling

Mike Hall

I can't disagree, unfortunately.

Language changes over time. Go back a couple of hundred years and many spellings are completely different to those we accept as correct today. There is no reason to believe that today's spellings are more correct than those Shakespeare used. Similarly, they are no more correct than those that will be used two hundred years from now. Let the language move on.

Cardiff 'copter coppers give chase to UFO

Mike Hall

Riiight...

... because if I was a super-intelligent extra-terrestial who has conquered the barriers of light and time to cross the universe seeking alien life - I'd make sure I took time out of my busy schedule to scare some Welsh coppers before flying home.
