Now here is a question, which I think is totally inadequately discussed
I am interested in spelling reform. Studies show that countries, such as Italy, which have had spelling reform, have much lower rates of dyslexia -- maybe even NO dyslexia. Currently incredible numbers of person hours are spent teaching children spelling. It takes years to get kids to spell properly and even then it is unlikely that most of them are always successful. If we have spelling reform, all those hours could be spent with these kids actually reading, rather than learning irregular spelling.
How do you feel about spelling reform?

Aside: I can't help but wonder, if the people who were spending all these hours teaching irregular spellings to small children were men, wouldn't we have had spelling reform a long time ago?
