Until we win, tinySpell.
If you are waiting to learn to spell as a form of protest until English spelling makes sense, instead of the random use of letters and sounds that require a person to clutter up their mind with memorizing each word, I applaud your noble cause.
If between now and that glorious day when the letter “C” will be stricken from the alphabet (because if you have a “k” and a “s” you do not need a letter “c”) and when we have a phonic based language, you might find a spell checker handy.
I have Tiny Spell on my computer. It runs constantly in the background, beeping everytime I misspell a word in any application, and does an excellent job of guessing what word I’m trying to spell. It’s a free down-loadable program and is one of the handiest programs on my computer.

I hear Mexico is trying to abolish the silent “J.”
The problem, in English, with no letter “C” is what to do about words like Chat and Chile. And so, as a supportive revisionist, I’d gently call for the abolition of redundant use of letters, and never mind the “G” in “gently” for now.
