SoundSpel
---------------------------------------------
Background of the Notation
This is by no means a new notation. The underlying principles on which SoundSpel is based have a history dating back to 1910, and were published in lexicon format by Walter Ripman and William Archer as "New Spelling" in 1941. A few changes have been made over the years, but the fundamental principles have stood the test of time.
In 1955 Godfrey Dewey in conference with Ripman and others agreed to certain improvements which were then published by Dewey as "World English Spelling" in 1969. In the 1960s Sir James Pitman used these same fundamental principles as a basis for his 'initial teaching alphabet' system which, in view of its strong financial support, might have ushered in spelling reform had he not thwarted that possibility with sixteen grotesque new letters -- copyrighted. In the '70s World English Spelling was adopted by the (U. S.) Phonemic Spelling Council (successor to the spelling reform organization begun by the American Philological Association in 1876 and known, after 1906, as the Spelling Reform Board). Small revisions of the notation, leaning toward better compatibility with T.O., resulted from exchanges between Godfrey Dewey and Edward Rondthaler after 1971 and, in 1986, were published as "American Spelling" by Rondthaler and Edward Lias under the auspices of the American Literacy Academy, successor to the Phonemic Spelling Council. A few minor revisions have been made by Rondthaler and Joseph Little since that time, and what is now "SoundSpel" is the notation used in all programs and software of the American Literacy Council (successor to ALA, PSC, and their predecessors dating back to 1876).
The sheer endurance of the major spelling reform principles developed by scholars almost a century ago pays worthy tribute to the genius of these devoted supporters of simplification.

The Star
It wos on the ferst dae of the nue yeer that the anouncement wos maed, aulmoest simultaeneusli from three observatoris, that the moetion of the planet Neptune, the outermoest of aul the planets that wheel about the sun had becum veri eratic. A retardaetion in its velociti had been suspected in December. Then a faent, remoet speck of liet wos discuverd in the reegion of the perturbd planet. At ferst this did not cause eni veri graet ecsytment. Syentific peepl, however, found the inteligence remarkabl enuf, eeven befor it becaem noen that the nue bodi wos rapidli groeing larger and bryter, and that its moetion wos quyt diferent from the orderli progres of the planets ...
On the therd dae of the nue yeer the nuespaeper reeders ov too hemisfeers wer maed awaer for the ferst tym ov the real importance of this unuesueal aparition in the hevens. "A Planetari Colision" wun London paeper heded the nues, and proclaemd that this straenge planet wood probabli colyd with Neptune. The leeder-ryters enlarged upon the topic. So that in moest of the capitals of the world, on Janueari 3rd, thaer wos an expectaetion, houever vaeg, of sum iminent fenomenon in the sky; and as the niet foloed the sunset round the gloeb, thousands of men ternd thaer ys skyward to see - the oeld familiar stars just as thae had aulwaez been.
Until it wos daun in London and the stars oeverhed had groen pael. The winter's daun it wos, a sickli, filtering acuemuelaetion of daeliet, and the liet of gas and candls shon yeloe in the windoes to shoe whaer peepl wer astur. But the yauning poleesman sau the thing, the bisi crouds in the markets stopt agaep, werkmen goeing to thaer werk betyms, milkmen, Disipaetion goeing hoem jaeded and pael, hoemless wonderers, and in the cuntri laebourers trudging afeeld, poechers slinking hoem, and oever the duski quikening cuntri it cood be seen - and out at see by seemen woching for the dae - a graet whyt star, cum sudenli in the westward sky!
Bryter it wos than eni star in our skys; bryter than the eevning star at its brytest. It stil gloed out whyt and large, noe meer twinkling spot of lyt, but a small, round, cleer shyning disk, an our after the dae had cum. And whaer syence has not reecht, men staerd and feerd, teling wun anuther ov the wors and pestilences that ar forshadoed by thees fyri syns in the hevens.
And in a hundred observatoris thaer had been suprest exytment, rysing aulmoest to shouting pitch, as the too remoet bodies had rusht together, and a huriing to and froe, to gather foetografic aparaetus and spectroskoep, and this aplyans and that, to record this novel astonishing syt, the destruction ov a werld.
