X-MEN - ROMIJN-STAMOS' MOTHER FIGHTS TO SIMPLIFY SPELLINGS

REBECCA ROMIJN-STAMOS' mother has embarked on a crusade to simplify the more complicated spellings in the English language.

The stunning X-MEN star's linguist mother ELIZABETH KUIZENGA has joined forces with a group of colleagues to push for a huge change in the way words are spelt.

Romijn-Stamos says, "They do this for fun, but it's also their quest. They're part of a group called the SIMPLIFIED SPELLING SOCIETY and they're trying to update the spelling of the English language to make it easier for other people who are trying to learn how to spell or learn English.

"And also so kids don't have to learn all the stupid rules they have for spelling and all the exceptions to all the rules.

"So anyway, we have a great time talking about it and totally support her and agree with it, but we also make fun of her a lot of the time."
