WASHINGTON – Four peaceful protesters, some dressed in full-length black and yellow bee costumes, represented the American Literacy Council and the London-based Spelling Society and stood outside the Grand Hyatt on Thursday, where the Scripps National Spelling Bee is being held. Their message was short: Simplify the way we spell words.
Roberta Mahoney, 81, a former Fairfax County, Va. elementary school principal, said the current language obstructs 40 percent of the population from learning how to read, write and spell.
"Our alphabet has 425-plus ways of putting words together in illogical ways," Mahoney said.
According to literature distributed by the group, it makes more sense for "fruit" to be spelled as "froot
The protesting cohort distributed pins to willing passers-by with their logo, "Enuf is enuf. Enough is too much."
Well 4 fux sake u pack of more-ons. Y dont u just go home and di 4 me. Go home and eat sum old rotten froot and di.
It’s too hard to spell now, you old piece of swill? Well, how did we all (well, most of us) manage to do it? I’m sorry but this type of shit gets under my skin and I’m not pulling any punches today.
The way the words of the English language are spelled, cripples 40% of the young and dumb population from learning how to read, write and spell?
Enuf is enuf is goddamn right, you old goddamn fossil, Roberta Mahoney. Or should I say, Roberta Mahonee and frends?
Let’s dumb down this society even more than it already has become and not challenge ourselves to learn and spell properly. Yeah, that’s it, Mahonee. You are a former goddamn principal, which makes this even worse to diejest.
If I cud fit u in mi toylet, I swair 2 God I wud flush ur sawree ass.
