Yu no them kows from that chikin plac that tel yu to “Eat Mor Chikin?” There’s a groop of peepl in th U.S. hu want us awl tu start speling lik that. Thae want us tu uze simpl wurdz so we awl kan spel betr.

(According to an Associated Press report, supporters say kids would learn English faster and the illiteracy rate would go down. Opponents of the simple word philosophy believe the new spelling system would make things more confusing.)

Abowt using simplr wurds, awl we kan sae iz, “Itz abowt time!”

Don’t laff. Th simpl wurdz moovment goes back to peepl lik Andrew Carnegie and Prezedent Theodore Roosevelt. Thae cuudn’t get it dun, but simpl wurd sooportrz ar stil trieng.

Sooportrz hav a poynt abowt peepl not beeing so ilit … elitr … well, not so dum. They’r rite becuz th rulz for beeng smart wuudn’t be as hi.

Of korse, ther wuud hav tu be agreemint between difrent parts uf th kuntry on som wurds becuz of th wae peeple tawk. Sum fella in Massashootsets mae not hear, pronownse and spel a wurd the same wae as a fella frum Boga Chitta.

That’s anuthur theng, maps and anetheng with a propr nam wuud hav to be changd. But what’s turneng th map wurld upside down whin we’r helpeng peepl spel betr?

Finahle, big wurds - lik fonetix - wuud soon go awae becuz no won wuud need them sents we’r uzeng mor simpl wurdz.

Tu mplemint th simpl wurds plan, awl we reale need tu du is hav sumwon dvelop an ofishul wae to spel awl th simpl wurdz. We mae hav misspeld sum en this openyun.

Thomas S. Monson, “May We So Live,” Ensign, Aug 2008, 4-9

Suddenly and without warning, on a bright day in September almost seven years ago, two airliners crashed into the twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center, leaving devastating destruction and death. In Washington, D.C., and in Pennsylvania, two other airliners came down, also as a result of a terrorist plot. These tragedies snuffed out the lives of thousands of men, women, and children. Evaporated were well-laid plans for pleasant futures. Instead, there were tears of sorrow and cries of pain from wounded souls.

Countless were the reports we heard of those who were touched in some way_”either directly or indirectly_”by the events of that day. Rebecca Sindar was on a flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Dallas, Texas, on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Her flight, like all others in the United States at that time of tragedies, was interrupted; the plane was grounded in Amarillo, Texas. Sister Sindar reported: “We all left the plane and found televisions in the airport, where we crowded around to see the broadcast of what had happened. People were lined up to call loved ones to assure them we were safely on the ground. I shall always remember the 12 or so missionaries who were on their way to the mission field on our flight. They made phone calls, and then we saw them huddled in a circle in a corner of the airport, kneeling in prayer together. How I wish I could have captured that moment to share with the mothers and fathers of those sweet young men as they saw the need for prayer right away.” (Read the article)

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a work
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong or write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
Eye am shore your pleased to no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
