Simplify the English Language (reduce the irregular verbs and nouns)
I'm not talking about lowering standards, but fixing problems with the English language.
Do you care about "leapt" or "leaped"? How about "thrived" or "throve"?
I propose that we clean up some parts of the language so our teachers don't spend so much time correcting perfectly understandable writing that's 'wrong' - just because of arcane language rules. Too much time is wasted correcting faults that are an artefact of the language, not really a fault of the pupil.
Let's concentrate on teaching stuff.
