Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1906 — THAT SPELLING REFORM LIST. [ARTICLE]

THAT SPELLING REFORM LIST.

The following is the list of 300 words of which the spelling is recommended to be changed by the American Spelling Reform Committee and approved by President Roosevelt, and by his order adopted in certain departments of the government. A large portion of these new spellings are already in quite extended use, but which have heretofore been spelled in two ways such as labor, which is sometimes spelled labour; or plow sometimes spelled plough. Another large class is where the ed of the past tense is replaced by t when it has the sound of that letter, as propt for propped, and kist for kissed, which last many will continue to think is good either’way you spell it, no matter what Dr. Hurty says. The following gives the new and as we think the right way, of spelling these 300 words, abridgment judgment accouter kist accurst labor acknowledgment lacrimal addrest lapt adz lasht aflixt leapt altho legalize anapest > license anemia licorice - anesthesia liter anesthetic lodgment antipyrin lookt antitoxin lopt apothem luster apprize mama arbor maneuver archeology materialize ardor meager armor medieval artizan meter assize mist ax miter bans mixt bark mold behavior molder blest molding blusht moldy brazen molt ~ brazier mullen, bun naturalize bur . neighbor jobber niter caliper nipt candor ocher carest odor catalog offense catechize omelet center _— opprest chapt orthopedic check paleography checker . paleolithic chimera paleontology civilize paleozoic Clangor paraffin clangor parlor clapt parti zan claspt past dipt patronize clue pedagog coeval pedobaptist color phenix colter phenomenon commixt pigmy comprest plow - comprize polyp contest possest controller practise coqilet . prefixt criticize prenomen cropt prest crost pretense crusbt preterit cue pretermit curst primeval cutlas protest cyclopedia program dactyl prolog dasht propt decalog pur defense quartet demagog ” questor demeanor quintet deposit rancor depreet rapt deydop raze dieresis recognize dike reconnoiter dipt rigor discust rime" dispatch ript dis il rumor distrest saber dolor saltpeter domicil savior draft savor dram scepter drest septet dript sepulcher droopt sextet?, dropt silvan dulness simitar ecumenical sipt edile -vithe i egis skilful enamor ski pt encyclopedia ' slipt endeavor smolder envelop snapt ooljan somber eon spectej epaule splendor
