Patrick, it's arbitrary symbolism which changes dramatically in time and space based on several often random factors. Pick up a text published sufficiently far back in time, wait sufficiently long or take a trip sufficiently far in any direction and you will see what I mean. Spelling and grammar are more than just a trivial pursuit, they actually stifle both creativity and logical thinking. Agreement on standard forms of communications are important, but only when such protocols are necessary; otherwise this pseudo-wannabee-science is nothing more than dogmatic ritual and an embarrassment to our so-called modern society. Granted, we still have enough oxygen to supply academic grammarians, but why waste it?
