Disclaimer: See chap 1. Enough said.

It had started out like any normal politics class until the teacher announced the class project: Debates. Wendy perked up her attention to focus on all the details until one little piece of information almost knocked her out of her seat. Her partner was someone she clashed with. He was one of the most conniving, self absorbed, racist, evil people she's known. He was the one who fed a kid his parents in a bowl of chili and now he was her partner. Eric Cartman was her partner for their debate project. It was that one day back in third grade all over again, when the class debated over the flag. Somehow either faith decided to be funny and stick them together or her teacher was just plain cruel.
Listening to the rest of the partner's, Wendy could only imagine what topic her and Cartman were stuck with. The teacher proceeded to give the students their topics, some to her were interesting since she never really considered some of those arguments. Some of the topics were classics like capitalism vs. socialism, abstinence while others were civil disobedience, Antarctic exploitation, ads do more harm than good, bribery/corruption and assassination of a dictator. Finally hearing her name she looked at the teacher as he announced " Wendy and Eric, your topic is the English Language Spelling Reform". Now that definitely one she never really thought about. However this was gonna be one hell of a research session.
"Alright class, you have your partners and topics. I suggest using the rest of the class to plan out your project with your partner." Grumbling the students put their desk together and started chatting about their topics.
"Whatever ho, lets just get this over with"

"Fine, we each need to chose a side" Wendy said trying to take some control so they could at least get something done.

"The people that want to change it are just a bunch of freaking hippies"

"No they aren't, just see a logical solution to a logical problem that's become difficult to handle in recent years."

"Pfft whatever if these people are going to come over here, tell them to learn the language"

"How can you say that, don't you remember when you first had to learn the language when you were younger, how hard it was?"

"So?"

"It's just as difficult for them because their languages function differently than ours"

"They just need to learn it when they come over here, I don't care what they were taught wherever they came from"

"If were going to get a decent grade at least get some more valid points" Wendy said as she packed up her stuff and walked away just as the bell rang.

The next day…

"So did you get some more valid points besides the whole hippie angle?" Wendy asked.

"Yea, here" he said handing her a sheet of paper.

Looking over the paper she saw he had actually done some kind of research into their topic. 'Wow, he listened, this should be an interesting debate' she thought. "Good job."

"eh, thanks but I still stand by my hippie point"

"Fine, but if you're gonna to mention that then do it as a last point"

"Alright, hoe"

"Okay class your projects are due at the end of this week so make sure you and your partners have your topics in check, you can leave now"

Days went by and pretty soon it was the end of the week, day of the class debates. Many of them went on quite well while others weren't very well planned. "We have just enough time for one more group, Wendy and Eric your up" The two head up and get setup.

"Our topic we are debating today is the English language spelling reform" Wendy started. "First some history and what our topic is generally about, it is about the English language and its difficulties to learn. Much of it is how hard it is to spell certain words or how various rules in spelling don't make sense.

"Some of the English language has roots in Latin and German and the way the vowels are pronounced changed through the years but spelling stayed behind. The argument is that spelling should be made easier and more logical." Cartman finished up. "As in every debate we the opponents each argued a side, Wendy arguing the Pros and me the Cons"

Wendy launched into her pro side arguments. "My first point in supporting this reform is how much of the English spelling doesn't make sense and how certain words have rules, many which don't even fit into those rules. Just like other languages are phonetically written and are spelled just the way they are heard. In this case, changing the language would modernize our spelling for the 21st century."

Cartman rebutted with the language and spelling carries part of our history and it's culture so much of those roots make English a vast language so the words would end up easier but harder to comprehend.

Their debate went on like this until the very last closing arguments and what kind of motions would be taken. After the twos last remaining comments, they each brought up their own opinions on the issue, Wendy's being she agreed that some of it should be changed and how it would help future generations. Cartman's opinion on the other hand was more outlandish and mostly what was to be expected of him. He said "If these people are going to come here from wherever, then they need to learn our language, the people that are in favor of this are a bunch of hippies and screw you guys, I'm going home." After making that remark he did just that.
