Uniqueness	Advanced English is an English spelling reform which makes English completely phonetic. Current spelling often is a nightmare for native and non-native speakers alike. In the UK, there are about 7 million people with poor spellings skills with at best first grader niveau. In the US, the estimated amount is even about 44 million which have poor spelling skills! With a completely phonetic spelling, not only these numbers would be greatly reduced, but also it would be a great deal easier to learn English! Unlike many other reform attempts, Advanced English doesn't make up some awkward far-fetched spellings, but rather stays close to the actual, official IPA pronunciations.
