Sounds absurd but reminds me of the recent call to introduce variant spelling in the UK for certain words that students commonly have problems with. Talks of adding common alternative spellings in the official dictionary.

Seems a bit silly to me. Next they will want to introduce texting lingo and weird case spellings.

Sure, why not? Then maybe next we can make 3,4 and 5 all valid answers to 2+2. I mean, it'll stop all those people who get it wrong from having to deal with the stigma of being wrong. I know it's been a few years since you left Britain, so it probably does seem silly, but it's the British way now. I'm pretty sure we'll be giving foreign language degrees to people who speak slowly and loudly in English pretty soon. That'll boost our flagging results in languages.
