Abstract
This article contains reflections on language, orthography and its teaching; reading (which involves physiologic and psychological process requiring training as well as memorizing) and typography, a field where problems complicate further withthe addition of distinctive signs to different languages’ types for their improved typographica lrepresentation. Several linguistic reforms have been proposed, such as the elimination of obsolete letters, but it’s necessary to reconcile opposing views, in adition to considering phonetic orthographical variations, ambiguities, pronunciation, etymologies and accentuation. What keeps a language alive is having contact with other ways of speaking, its changes and adaptations,that’s why writing cannot be an accurate reproduction of speaking: writing has slow evolution,due to consensus and conservative opposition. Once speaking and writing are considered different ways of communication, typography will be more useful, transformed in an active art.
