Speling Reform

[stfoskey15]

I'm kind of fed up with all the absurdities of English speling. I figure the only way to solv the problem is to start speling things differently. I ges I'l start with som of the obvious stupidities, like the leters ough.
So: through→thru
although→altho
though→tho
thought→thot
bought→bot
cough→cof
do→doo
dough→do

Also, ck→k
The c is absolutely useles.
Then I'l start removing exces dubl and silent leters.
So will→wil
effect→efect
honest→onest

And rearanging som things.
iron→iurn

Other changes
should→shood (it wood be better to have aditional letters to clarify things further, but that wil take time).

I wil be using this for som ideas.
