There have been several major efforts since the middle of the 19th-century to reform English spelling. None has met with more than very slight success. Part of the problem, it seems to me, is that spelling reform campaigns are about, well, spelling reform. If you are interested in philology or in advancing literacy, this subject can be fascinating. For most people, though, it is as dull as dishwater.

What we have here are links to a few items I have put on the Web that some people may actually find interesting. These items use more than one reform scheme. This way, readers can compare one to another painlessly.

I will be adding more material like this in the future. What I hope for even more, however, is that other people will start to put up such material of their own.

A Breef History of Altscript
A wish-fulfillment Alternative History story in which English spelling is reformed in the 20th century.

The Alternativ Admirel
An Alternative Obituary of Robert Heinlein.

The Grait God Pan
A reformed version of Arthur Machen's novella of 1894.
