> they change the spelling to match actual usage Unfortunately, as already said, they are not changing it: they are adding an alternative. > Show me a random French word and I may not know what it means, but I do know how to pronounce it Three villages in "Pays de Gex": Ornex: final "x" is not pronounced, like in standard French. Challex: final "x" is pronounced. Moëns: "oë" is pronounced like "wa" in "thwart", as if the dieresis wasn't there. Btw, tell me a random Italian word and I may not know what it means, but I do know how to write it. Now that's nice, never having to ask: "What's your surname? How do spell it? Where are you from? How do you spell it?".
