George Bernard Shaw was an avid proponent of spelling reform. He made a case that, given existing spelling of other words, the word 'fish' should be spelled 'ghoti':

I have long enjoyed the work of Shaw (incidentally, Shaw was a close personal friend of T. E. Lawrence aka "Lawrence of Arabia") and I rank him up with other great social cmmentators/authors such as Mark Twain...
