Orthographic reform now! Our movement is dozens strong!

Not necessary. You can "have your cake" and eat it with spoons of both Aluminum and Aluminium, too. It just has to reflect spoken sounds in some kind of reasonably-direct way.
Hmm. Do Brazilians still spell stuff the Portuguese way? Most of the European languages probably have some kind of prescribed national dialect, Arabic has classical Arabic, and Chinese has non-alphabetic characters, but I don't know about that one.
So I guess you can tell when someone's European Portuguese in writing?
