Many of them recognized that it was absurd to spell a work "checque" when it was not pronounced CHEK-cue. They knew that it made no sense to add a silent letter "u" to words like color, and honor. You act as if any change to the language is horrific, yet your use of English bears little resemblence to the English written by William Shakespeare. If you want to speak a language which never evolves, might I suggest Latin?
