Spelling: In Favor of More Inclusive Dictionaries


When it comes to spelling, I hate vowels.  In English, the correct spelling of too many words hangs on vowels that usually don’t affect the meaning of the word, although there is a great difference in some words as affect, and effect.  In a definition, the vowel letters can be trivial and stumbling blocks even for someone who is well educated.  So what’s holding us back from accepting multiple spellings of words, such that we rewrite our English dictionaries, including multiple spellings of words like difference and, differance, or tomorrow, and tomarrow, etc.?
