Speller Proponent Sees Global Adoption of Jones Method
The originator of a phonetic spelling system eliminates silent letters and offers a new approach. He authored Alphabet of Ortheopy and Its Application to Monosyllables, once a standard public school spelling book. Three dictionaries in the U S and three in England adopt his system, with hopes it becomes universal within a century. His Bible rendering may also gain popularity, while the Jones method spreads to nine years of use in English schools in China, praised for easing language learning.
