If I understand correctly, you are against having one rule for writing French and you'd prefer some anarchy in spelling. Personally, I don't agree with you: serious documents need to be written in a language which provides an official grammar. > Orthographe is a tragedy for two reasons: The current ortographe is a tragedy, but they could have chosen a simpler and more logical one. In particular, they could have avoided keeping in written all those details that have been lost in speaking (ex: "(je) faisais", "(il) faisait", "(ils) faisaient"): why not just writing the same if you pronounce the same? OTOH, I fully agree with you that the result of adding a tolerated alternative, instead of forcing a change, doesn't even look like a simplification.
