Handooks is another simplified spelling?

But, this sounds like the Chicago Tribune's spelling simplification.  >From 1934 to 1975, they began using spellings like tho, thru, thoro, agast, burocrat, frate, harth, herse, iland, rime, staf and telegraf.  Then, back in 1986, Teddy Roosevelt signed an executive order mandating the use of reformed spelling, including many of the spellings that the Trib would later mandate.  Some of these changes stuck.  Today's guns have a caliber, whereas they used to have a calibre, and we catalog our books, without benefit of a catalogue.
