    The following is posted solely for information purposes.
    In this week's edition of the English language Forward (dated June 18,
2004), "Philologos", the Forward's language columnist, published a column
entitled "Questioning the Marks" in which he discusses the proposed Hebrew
spelling reform recently put forth by Dr. Mordecai Mishor, a member of the
Language Committee of the Hebrew Language Academy.  The proposal was the
subject of a long article by Yemimah Evron in the June 4, 2004 Hebrew
language edition of Ha'aretz.

    The June 11, 2004 "weekend" edition of the Hebrew language Ha'aretz had
a few letters to the editor critical of the proposed vowelization reforms.
Unfortunately, those letters did not have a "permanent" URL and apparently
cannot be accessed on the Internet (although I saved them as a Word
document).
