Should the English language have a spelling reform?

As a rebellion against Americanisms at work, I started using the phrases like "midwicket conference", "opening the batting" and "close of play" instead of their baseball equivalents before I retired.

Sounds like you bowled them a googly there!

No. Next question.

The glam rock band Slade were famous for misspelling their song titles.

Or was it really how the words were pronounced in the Black Country dialect?

We could always ask them to lead a spelling reform.
