In the last few days, has been really commented about the changes that the RAE is making to "simplify" the ortography. Their are making a lot of changes on what we all now as "good orthografy", so this has been really polemic, there's a lot of people criticizing that this could be an excesive relax of the standars governing our language.
There are a lot of weird conventions that had been changing in the history, but we didn't know, cause they are really unusual, and nobody really cares that much, but this time, the changes are in words that are really common to us, so everyone is talking about it, and is difficult not to care.
For example, the accents that distinguish the context are over, so, this mean that "sólo" or "éste" have no longer accents, now, the "solo" of lonely is the same of the "sólo" of only if, even in confused cases as "voy solo al .." that could be interpretated as, im going alone, or i'm going only to... The RAE thinks that this cases are not that frecuent, and they are easy to settle by context, that is not worthit to use the accents. But the RAE also said that, in this cases, people are able to use it or not.
Another example, is that now "ex" "anti" or "pro" are no longer separate of their next word, tradiccionaly they were considered as prepositions and should have an espace before their next word, but now the RAE thinks of them as a prefix, so they have to be alongside the other word, as an only word.
There's a change that has cause a lot of polemic, that is,the change of the letters name the "y griega" now it's going to be "ye", so the "i latina" now is only "i", and the "v" it could only be named as "uve" no "b corta" or i don't know any other name, so that leaves just one "b", and "w" is gonig to be "doble uve".
And i could go on with these, there's many other cases that are causing discussion, in all media.
In my opinion, there are a lot of changes that i'm agree with, like the letters name, to evoy confussion, and to generalize them in any spanish speaker country. But there are others that i think are not that good, like the accents thing, i think that they confussed more of what they clarifies.
