The Spelling Reform Movement is a campaign aimed at simplifying and improving the English language's spelling system. Advocates believe that the current spelling rules are inconsistent and difficult for learners, which can hinder literacy and communication. They propose changes to make spelling more phonetic, meaning words would be spelled as they sound. Various organizations and individuals, including Noah Webster, have contributed to this movement over the years. Some proposed reforms include eliminating silent letters and standardizing spellings for commonly used words. While some changes have been adopted, such as in American English, widespread reform remains a topic of debate.
