I think it was Ben Franklin who once talked about changing the way English word were spelled if I like to think of my spelling as a homage to that great mans shunned idea (Of course he also wanted the turkey to be the national bird so not all his ideas were good ones LOL)

"...as every Letter ought to be, confin'd to one; the same is to be observ'd in all the Letters, Vowels and Consonants, that wherever they are met with, or in whatever Company, their Sound is always the same. It is also intended that there be no superfluous Letters used in Spelling, i.e. no Letter that is not sounded, and this Alphabet by Six new Letters provides that there be no distinct Sounds in the Language without Letters to express them". - Benjamin Franklin

And yes I do know that Ben was being tounge in cheek when promoting the Turkey over the eagle LOL
