What evidence do you have that the people that complain about the reform are the same that unconsciously leave away the accent circonflexe? I rather think these two groups are rather disjoint.
- thiht 11y agoEmpirical evidence. Most people complaining about the "new reform" don't even know it's been around for ~25 years nor what it's really about. Try to ask someone who complained about this reform to write some words like "maitre" or "paraitre", I can almost guarantee you they won't use the circonflexe.
