I see nothing wrong with studying the past; I do, however take issue with mimicking it at the cost of the autonomy of one's own thought. All properly spelled, I see. I guess that means you surrendered the autonomy of your own thought to do it, right?
My suggestion to you: find a different hobby horse.

Mr. Stolyarov: That was so due to the lack of any "ph" combinations in the "proper spelling" of that frase. I emfasize the need for gradual linguistic change rather than instantaneous sweeping reform, for rational linguistic utilization needs to be automatized into a matter of habit lest it hinder the speed of a man's writing.
In three months' time, I shall suggest another adjustment.
