Who Needs an apostrophe???

• Spelling should be simplified and apostrophe abolished to avoid wasting time at school, say experts.
• Children should not be forced to memorise complicated words. Instead, a phonetic approach and the language of the text messaging and the Internet should be adopted, Researcher thinks for centuries academics and teachers have been divided over how strictly the English language should be preserved. University tutors and examiners have said that even bright A- level students misspell common words, and employers have had to adopt a 'three strikes and you 're out' rule, in which candidates are allowed two spelling errors in job applications before being rejected.
• The apostrophe should simply be left out, with 'it's' becoming 'its', or replaced with a space, so 'we'll' would be written 'we ll'.
• prof wells called for greater freedom to allow phonetic spellings: "it seems highly likely that one of the reasons Britain and other English speaking countries have problems with literacy is because of our spelling and the burden it places on children.In countries like Italy and Spain it's similar: with English it's not phonetic, and there are just so many irregularities. Lots of other things are neglected in class because so much time is spent on spelling. Also learning how to use the apostrophe is also a waste of time."
