Simplifying English spelling brings advantages for the first learners of English such as children and foreign learners. Reforming the spelling of the English language can help them to read and write more easily, and improve their literacy. Furthermore, foreign learners can be sure how to pronounce an English word without hearing it first, because the alphabetic of English spelling would be more reliable. Moreover, for those who have a poor memory, their chances of becoming a good speller would be improved.
Simplification of English spelling also give some disadvantages for English users, espessially for native speakers. Changing spelling will make them confused. It could be a very huge, expensive and complicated revolution that people will be difficult to adjust to. On the other hand, the spelling of most of the words in English tell us about their history and origins and that would be lost if we make it simple.
