User reviews
I am only giving this extension 4 stars on account of the fact that there are certain technical issues related to the nature of spelling reform that have not been entirely resolved at this point. I also need to issue a disclaimer here: I am not only personally acquainted with the developer of this extension, but I belong to the same spelling reform organization he does. Not only that, but I personally knew the individual who was responsible for creating the form of revised spelling used here, an individual by the name of Rondthaler who lived to the grand old age of 103!
Before he died, he and I had agreed to certain changes to be made to his system. I notice that the version of Simplified Spelling being used in this extension is the version used way back in 1986, meaning that it's now 30 years out of date! Since that time, certain improvements have been made to the system that fix certain defects in the earlier version. Otherwise, however, if a more recent version of this particular system of revised orthography were being used I would have given the extension 5 stars.
