I couldn't agree more!
Language might be a living organism developing constantly but if everyone does what he/she wants with language, how is communication to be achieved?
sorry but I totally disagree because it's like destroying our language! We cannot change a language because some people have problems with spelling.Simplicity doesn't mean progress!
very humorous but I can't really agree with this viewpoint
I agree!students should feel free to express themselves without being constantly reminded that they are in a class.
I think that spelling is important and shows thorough knowledge of a language
It's a dilemma for many teachers because our job is to help students learn from their mistakes but on the other hand if students can communicate that's enough.
I don't agree because it has to do with university students .
From my point of view "freedom" in the field of spelling certainly leads to a lot of confusion as to the identity and pronunciation of a lexical item.
I believe that this is not right
