A before news of the new spelling
The alphabet was officially renewed least two end points year and the change is included in the new basic text spelling to suit the new modern times and unify the English language English universal.
This has been decided in the city of La Rioja San Millán de la Cogolla until yesterday, the IAP Committee of the Association of English Language Academies, led by Victor Garcia de la Concha, director of the Royal English Academy ( RAE) and president of the Association of Language Academies.
First, we discussed the removal of the letters ch and ll of our alphabet to fit most international alphabet patterns. In 1999, the letters were considered digraphs (a group of two letters representing one sound) and not individual letters.
Another of the new spelling rules that were proposed at the meeting was the name of the letter and to tell ye henceforth and not Greek. Meanwhile, lower case s in the plural include the letters were also dismissed the common use of English, so I will not say any more DVD's, NGO's, as had been proposed by the team that wrote the new text.
The BYV
The name of BYV points were also a major source of discussion during the summit. Here in the Iberian country are called b high and low v or uv. English-speaking American is told b high v low v or b big small. In Venezuela, they are also popularly known as b and v donkey cow. Academics want to call them the same way, but use prohibited rooted above will remove the names of a single stroke. Words rogue script and lose the accent.
The new issue of spelling is an ambitious project which will be ratified at a plenary session attended by the twenty members of the SAR's sister academies this November 29 in Guadalajara, Mexico and officially published before Christmas by publisher Espasa. Salvador Gutiérrez Ordóñez, as coordinator of the working groups of scholars for 4 days, said the new building will have about 800 pages, which are addressed to all English speakers and that avoids jargon and is very simple.
Note that the spelling, grammar and the dictionary are the three pillars of the linguistic encoding of the language of Cervantes and the SAR has always said it would not abdicate its reformist progressive spirit always to the benefit of our common language English.
warm tribute to Vargas Llosa
academics' meeting that lasted from May 1 to November 4 in La Rioja, closed with a flourish yesterday to honor one of its members since 1994, the recent winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa . The English-Peruvian, who will receive the award on December 10 in Stockholm, Sweden was greeted with applause and congratulations noticeable signs of their partners.

Other important changes
The use of q is no longer a headache to write as before. You can also write c to k. for example. Quorum cuórum can now be written, can be written Qatar Qatar, cheese or Keso. However, the purists who prefer the original spelling will have to write foreign words like where it is usually use italics and without accent.
The prefix ex
The prefix ex is written together with the lexical base if it affects a single word: ex-husband, former minister, former director and will continue to be written separately when preceding compound words: former captain general .
NOTE
What will happen to the h, v and b? Meanwhile
continue writing like this (the spelling is to avoid this kind of barbarism unacceptable in educated speech)
