The Simplified Spelling Board is an organization that promotes the use of simplified spelling in the English language. Its goal is to make spelling easier and more consistent by reducing irregularities. This initiative aims to help learners and improve literacy rates. Founded in the early 20th century, the board advocates for spelling reforms that align more closely with phonetic pronunciation. Supporters believe that simplified spelling can enhance communication and reduce confusion. The board often collaborates with linguists and educators to develop and promote these spelling changes, drawing attention to the benefits of a more straightforward writing system.
