User:Readable Spelling

Five stages.

1. 95% readable 2. 99,9% readable. Easier to spell 3. Essentially i.t.a. in ASCII.
 * Minimal changes to traditional spelling, while most words can be read
 * Most grammar words 4 letters or more are phonetic
 * All new patterns are included here: aa, ae, ao, uo, uu, rr
 * Compatible with next stages (for example "get", "jeneral" instead of "ghet", "general", which would be really minimal)
 * Most grammar words 3 letters or less are phonetic
 * We get rid of "g" as /dʒ/
 * We get rid of magic "e"
 * No silent letters (final "e" to indicate /s/ is not a plural is maintained)
 * Phonetic past tense
 * All grammar words are phonetic

Differences: 4. 99,9% readable. Few exceptions when spelling 5. 99,9% reedable. Almost no excéptions when spelling
 * No ligatures, only digraphs and trigraphs
 * "u"-"w" and "i"-"y" ruels
 * Inverted "z" as /s/ is not used.
 * The silent "e" to indicate a word is not a plural is maintained
 * We keep "q" and "x"
 * We get rid of double letters
 * l-m-n-r rule
 * We get rid of all alternatives (we favour the American Literacy Council spelling)
 * We get rid of "s" as /z/
 * We get rid of "c", "x", and "q"

6. The only exceptions are due to British-American compatibility.
 * We keep the silent "e" to tell apart plurals (clauze, clawz).
 * We replace final "Cy" with "i" (C any consonant).
 * We get rid of silent "e" even to tell apart plurals ("clauz" is singular and the plural of "clau").
 * "Y" is only a semiconsonant
 * We normalíze the "u"-"w" and "i"-"y" rules
