Near miss as phonetic spelling bill fails in Commons
Proponents of simplified spelling came within three votes of passage in the British House of Commons last week. After four hours of debate the measure failed 87 to 84. Dr Mont Follick backed a rational spelling system and streamlined alphabet removing q x z, arguing it would worldize English and ease learning, while opponents warned English literature would need rewriting. The bill was defeated, and the controversy shifts to the past. Also: entertainment note on the Pythian Sisters St Patrick event and district convention details.
