Should the English language update its spelling and grammar?

Yes, I agree with you that there are too many spelling variations and what NuSpel has done is to make the spelling system more unified. I am not one to say that the spelling system of American English or British English is the best. They each are a little bit different and very special. I just agree with you, sometimes the spelling is the worse, and I think some grammar stuff needs to be updated.

I find that the Spanish grammar makes a lot more sense than English. However I guess there are complexities such as Spanish grammar but English pronunciation. I guess you are right that not many take notice of the committee, but still at least there is a committee. I am referring of grammar things like: "Paul and me went to the mall", should that be acceptable? Is it okay say "it don't matter" which many people say. Therefore I think a change is due and maybe some movement will happen in UK because it would be nice.

You would also have to have a commitee in all English speaking countries US, Australia, S Africa etc. to oversee the grammar in these countries. Essentially the grammar is similar in all these countries but there are some important differences. For example in the US it would be common to say "I did my homework already" whilst in the UK it would be "I have already done my homework."
With regards to people saying "Paul and me" and "it don´t matter" I think it is probably due to time spent doing other things computers, playing video games instead of perhaps reading.

Thank you about that. Well, but in Spain there is one committee for Spanish and many languages for Spanish. I think it is okay for one committee and they can comment on the different dialects of the language. I would be find with that. As a matter of fact, someone will send "it don't" and "Paul and me are friends" not just in chat rooms. People use and they think it is correct. Therefore, I think the grammar needs to be updated.

Thanks a lot! Very good description on comparing Spanish and English. And explaining the disadvantages of having a committee. Good work!

Thanks for your words. Well, I originally was thinking about people that actually write English. For example I was really angry because I didn't know how to spell sergeant! It is spelled with sErgeant, but I don't hear any e sound! I was so angry because I couldn't find it using spell check and I didn't know what to look up in the dictionary, finally I just kept guessing. You are right, we would loose some of the culture, but I think NulSpel's point is to make the language easier for native speakers. I believe NulSpel want a gradual evolution as well. Have a nice day.
