do not need to spend much time living in England to realize that the spelling is not one of the strengths of the British. At work at once I saw that foreigners used to write more correct than natives. The errors observed were confused star ITS (possessive) and it's (contraction of it is ), and we'll with will. also cost them much to find the correct number of double consonants in certain words (such as accommodation or Occurrence), or know what voice is in certain unstressed syllables ( Ensure and insure ). course, many of these difficulties we have had foreigners have had to learn English, but strangely my impression is that we often finish our English language studies with a very acceptable spelling, I would say even better than a Middle English. In our favor is, of course, that many English words of Latin origin are written in a similar way in our language.
For me, during the first months that my fluency with the language was quite unfortunate to see that my written language was more correct than the office mates around me was a source of comfort although with time-based read and write e-mails written in haste I was hitting many inaccuracies.
