English is long overdue for an overhaul. Countless hours are spent by
schoolchildren learning all the bizarre exceptions to the "rules",
which aren't really rules at all. What a waste of time!
I would like to see a commission established to reform spelling, to
begin with, and if successful, work on grammar.
I love the English language, but the time has come.
