It's windy and fridged here, with steady 40mph winds and bursts. I is cold.

I generally just keep the old spelling rules. I like the "ou" thing that has been obliterated in American English, and also the "centre" and "theatre". Even though I know I spelled it theater earlier. I like things that make sense to me, like "worshipping" and "cancelled" which are both spelled wrongly, but not phonetically. It's a personal preference and I won't change it for stupid essays and stuff.
Other than that, I do really like to spell! It's right up there with musicalling.

*scrounges around for more firewood in the Teacup, not wanting to brave the wind and rain outside...*
Hmm... *Finding no firewood avaliable, she comes upon Hector, whom as dry, boring and dense as he is, will do quite nicely for firewood. No one will miss him.* Aaah... Warm and toasty.. *tosses Hector into the fire and it roars and crackles as the blaze catches*

Let me put it the other way around, what joy can you find in your own language if the spelling rules are so insane that almost no-one can spell the language correctly without the latest dictionary? And everytime students and other people have finally mastered the very un-intuitive spelling, they go around and change it to something even more bonkers. Does English have two pages of rules when and when not to use capital letters, for example? I hope not, but Dutch does, at that's only the tip of the iceberg of stone-cold madness. IMO Dutch as a language has been murdered by committee and that's just terribly sad.
