Enuf is Enuf! Protesters Descend on Spelling Bee!

To make a point, I did not spell check this article!

Because we all know that there is nothing more imporant than proper spelling and grammer. (As evidenced by any Youtube video thread where 1/2 of the posts are people correcting other peoples spelling)


But in Washington, they don't believe in proper spelling. They want sensical spelling!


"Our alphabet has 425-plus ways of putting words together in illogical ways," says one of the protestors.


Representing the American Literacy Council and the London-based Spelling Society they arrived at the National Spelling Bee at the Grand Hyatt, some dressed
in full-length black and yellow bee costumes.


Simplify simplify simplify! Is their message.


Their logo, "Enuf is enuf. Enough is too much."


According to them words such as "fruit" should be changed to "froot", "slow" to "slo", and "heifer" to "hefer".


So what is the point of this all I wonder. Are they just really poor spellers and want to change the world to match their shortfalls? Do they just have too much time on their hands? Is this the first step in creating Orwells "Newspeak?"


If they complain about this, maybe they should try to learn Chinese. Their heads just might explode!
