Abstract:
Spelling is an important aspect of writing.
Good spelling knowledge is the engine for efficient
reading and writing. Without a doubt, English spelling
is a complicated matter. To acquire competency in
English spelling is hard for learners as there is no one
to one correspondence between phoneme and letter.
Many researchers prove that English spelling is
complex while some intellectuals argue that English
spelling has regularity. This study aims to show the
difficult nature of English spelling through a discussion
of these two contradictory arguments
