SR1

*** Shopping-Tip: SR1
'''SR1''' was a spelling reform proposal advocated by Harry Lindgren. SR1 stands for Spelling Reform 1, and it was part of a 50-stage reform that Lindgren advocated in his book ''Spelling Reform: A New Approach''. It spelled every short /e/ as E. It had some success in Australia and the government briefly adopted some alternative spellings along the lines of the proposal. As conceived by Lingren, it was to lead on to two possible target schemes, Phonetic A and Phonetic B.
