March 15. 198 hardly ex e fe Spelling ii one of the difficult subjects ioi!young paonle to mntrr. 3fne never learn and others pick it up almost intuitively. The "difficulty with spelling is that it is not j static, rashions change in spelling as they do in other! matters. Words become shortened just as do women's! dresses. Anyone who doubts that the language is mobile I sure how he should spell his own name. Spelling is largely arbitrary There is no great prin-cin'e stake. If a word is spelled wrong it is purely a slip of the memory and not a sign of wrong thinking. Many great men have been poor spellers. There are a great many words on the spelling of which ! people aniea onusn oiumoia is api 10 struggle along, clinging to te old fashions. A great many people here continue to use tne "U" in "honour," "favour" and similar words. In this paper we adopt the more modem and more common Canadian spelling, "honor," "favor." "Programme" i;: a long ugly word and is being shortened to "program," s is done in most centres throughout this con-! uneni. 1 There is i tendency in newspapers to shorten words and to omit Capital letters. This is more pronounced in eastern Canada, where the mass of the people live and where are the centres of education and culture. It is particularly noticeable in Toronto. Shortening the words saves time on the linotype machines and time is monev. Capitals take time, so they are often dropped. The whole tendency is toward simplification. People who are sticklers for the older systems sometimes feel annoyed at the changes, as have the ultra-conservative people of all ages, but progress is made in spite of them. Xhe younger people will adapt themselves to the changing conditions. IIARVEY S.
