Simplified Spelling

Simplified spelling is the idea of making English words easier to read and write by changing their spellings to be more consistent with their pronunciation. The goal is to reduce confusion and make learning to spell faster by removing irregularities and exceptions. For example, spelling “night” as “nite” or “through” as “thru” would be considered simplified spelling. It aims to create a more logical and efficient way to write, especially for learners and non-native speakers. However, it is not widely adopted and remains a theoretical or proposed approach rather than a standard practice.
