Well, I daresay it is messed up in any case.

It's alright once one gets used to it - I personally love it as long as the non-correlation thingamajig stays away from Finnish - but it's a bitch for most people taking their first steps in English. Anyone in their right minds, were they constructing a new language, would have their new language spelled completely phonetically, on the basis of having written and spoken language the least split up from each others. As my teacher used to say, written and spoken English are completely different languages.The English spelling is indeed messed up to those who have no sense of the language at all.
Still, I keep wincing at that "simplified spelling" as well. I mean, come on, if you're going to simplify spelling shouldn't you have more correlation between letters and phonemes, and fer crying out loud, "u"? A linguist proposing using a bleedin' "u"? Never mind phonetic spelling, for the purposes of which "u"=you is idiotic, "u" just reeks of.. idiotism. That's just mutilating mutilating a beautiful language.

Gah!
Sad thing is, my brother spells like that. Of course he is a former Marine. j/k
Teachers are becoming concerned about all the abbreviations being exploited on the .net as corrupting their students ability to spell properly. This seems almost quaint.
Though, I agree to an extent - that altering the spelling of a few words might be in order. Downgrading all to simple phonetics is insane.

Last time I checked "u" was still a vowel.

Re: We don't need no educashun!
The original sound of [u], yes; the letter 'u' representing the English word 'you', meh. You know what I mean.

What was that thing in the jokes thread a few months back about removing all the idiosyncrasies of the english language and ending up with german?

It is the Esperanto conspiracy guys. Next we'll get English and Frech combined and get a new language Franglish with this new spelling.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
