    English is the imperial system of phonetics (well, French is worse)

    you can, and you should

    english has no authority that regulates the language, it’s up to us to do the spelling reforms

    i spell it wensday :3

      English tends to be very etymological with its spelling but i support people simplifying it tbh

    Might’ve evolved like that eventually if we hadn’t stopped writing and type-setting by hand instead of using magical misspelling detection machines with strict spelling rules.

    Midweek is superior anyway.

      I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you’d lose points on papers for spelling “doughnut” as “donut”, but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.

      We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.
