Spelling-Reform

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I already do engage in some modest spelling reform tho I doubt the utility of more extensive efforts such as: Ay allredy due engaej in sum mahdest spelling reeform tho Ay doubt dh' yuetility uv mor extensiv efforts such az dhis.

I just want to kill the wabbit, okay?

     British English and American English will probably split into different languages eventually as they maintain separate spheres of influence. While I don't see the need to accelerate it for some utopian project, splitting the language might in fact be a pragmatic change.

Without first phonographs, then talking movies, then television, and now the internet, American and Britannic might well have evolved into separate languages.  But we're too well integrated now and local dialects are fading.

     Except that American and Britannic are very different things to this day. I've tried listening to Englishmen from outside of London; they're nearly unintelligible. Nevermind differences in usage, which constitute a lot of the distinctions that exist between languages. We Americans know a vehicle with a flat bed or a trailer as a "truck", not a "lorry" like our friends across the pond.

     While the advent of the internet may slow down the rate at which these things evolve separately, it would take a long time to erase the differences that already exist.

You overestimate the vocabulary problem.  Unlike most languages, English has a rich tradition of synonyms.
