If spelling and pronunciation differ, why is it that spelling needs to change? Clearly the right solution is pronunciation reform.
(And given that there are many pronunciations in common usage, we can't alter the spelling to fit them all. And there are essentially only two spelling systems, and they only differ in minor ways.)
