https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf The reasons for changing the spelling of many French words is to simplify the language. Many complain that this is dumbing down the language.

Spanish is a language that also has accents over vowels at times. That's done in order to add different meaning or interpretation of a word. If someone were to take them out, it would become even more complicated for the already Spanish writers than it is for people to learn to write in Spanish already. Changing the spelling is a terrible idea and should be stopped.]]> 2017-11-13 21:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf/wish/206497408 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf/wish/206497411 I don't think they should change any words because that would cause confusion and why would you change something that is a part of the culture.]]> 2017-11-13 21:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf/wish/206497411 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf/wish/206497450 There might be a need to change the spelling of some words but it doesn't really matter]]> 2017-11-13 21:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf/wish/206497450 em311302 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/n1fp77y4qcdf/wish/206497482 I don't think it would be fair to change some parts of the language because the older generations didn't learn it that way and they are both correct so there is no need to change it
