GoKawiilEnglish Spelling Society holds London congress, votes to continue despite little reform progress
The English Spelling Society, founded in 1908 and backed historically by figures like G. B. Shaw and Walter Skeat, held a congress in London last week to debate its future. Some members argued for disbanding the group, noting no substantive reform has occurred in over a century, but the Society decided to continue, expanding its focus to include literacy alongside spelling reform.
