- yesenadam 8y agoHahaha thanks for the laugh. Hmm well, Spanish has the RAE, (Royal Spanish Academy) which I at first thought a silly idea - an academy to control spelling. But over the years (of learning Spanish) I came to appreciate them. They did most of their work in the 18th and 19th C, changing Spanish spelling to be much less like French (e.g. getting rid of 'gn' in words) and reverting a lot of words to their 'proper' Latin consonants (like making sure 'b' and 'v' weren't swapped). There's this lovely story - How an eight-year-old boy invented the new word 'petaloso' - thanks to RAE's Italian equivalent. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-35653871 https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-35653871
