It is a recognition of how A, English is evolving, but also how people are getting rid of unfamiliar sounds and moving towards ones they are familiar with.
And English has always done that.
Not to say at all that spelling isn't important.
It is.
But for me, the joy of it is to kind of link to our history.
Little tiny footprints of one person
You may have changed the spelling of a word, put an H in ghost when there wasn't one, because it seemed right to them.
And so learning spelling through etymology, I think, can be a joy.
