Talk:New Spellings

hehee, glad to see, Oswax, that we seem to have started this wiki project with arguments! ;) But I have to disagree with you (again): "race" is not a truly awful spelling. I don't care if the "ce" = /s/ is from French or not; to make "s" = /s/ always, we would have to make "z" = /z/ always too (or there would be too much unclearness), and this would not only be unEnglish (something we are trying to protect), historically, but would be such a widespread spelling change as to cause perhaps great confusion. -Bryan
