The problem with simplifying spelling is that the simplifications wouldn’t make sense; apparently, according to some YouTube video I can’t find anymore.

And according to another video I could find, English was made harder to spell on purpose.

But traditional English is only spoken in America by hillbillies.

It's the opposite, though. Just like Canadian French
