This is how language evolves . There have been movements that were effective at fixing many words to remove silent letters and fix letters that were not pronounced as they should be. Possibly the first to do this was Noah Webster (founder of Webster's Dictionary) in 1806 with changes such as 'check' instead of 'cheque" and 'flavor, humor and color' instead of 'flavour, humour and colour' as spelled by the British. Other changed words didn't catch on such as, hed for head , frend for friend and speek for speak. But modern day movements are still trying to change words to simplify the spelling. There was , not long ago, a school district in Virginia where the teachers and administrators were picketing in front of their local government offices with at least one sign that read, 'enuf is enough' and 'through should be thru'.
