　　委托開展該調(diào)查的“拼寫學(xué)會(huì)”的杰克·邦維爾說，英美兩國(guó)在單詞拼寫方面的高出錯(cuò)率表明，必須推動(dòng)英語拼寫系統(tǒng)的現(xiàn)代化，以提高民眾的讀寫能力。

　　"When asked, only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling. The answers in the test prove that this is far from the case," he said. "What is holding the UK and the USA back is the irregular spelling system."

　　“在調(diào)查過程中，僅有四分之一的成年人覺得自己在單詞拼寫方面有問題。但測(cè)試結(jié)果則表明情況要嚴(yán)重得多。不規(guī)范的拼寫系統(tǒng)是造成這一問題的主要原因。”

　　這項(xiàng)美國(guó)調(diào)查由益普索·莫里調(diào)查機(jī)構(gòu)于上月在網(wǎng)上開展，共有一千名成年人參加，調(diào)查方法主要依據(jù)去年四月的一項(xiàng)共有一千名英國(guó)人參與的調(diào)查。
