You do know that the rule in question was one proposed by one man, for
no good reason, and for a similar lack of logic or purpose, then
adopted? It was never part of the original English until then, and makes
about as much sense as reverting to pre-Middle English, where half the
words we use would require extra vowels, or consonants to spell them, or
worse, Middle English, where there was a trend to simply remove as many
vowels are possible.
In short, its a stupid rule, and there is one single fool to blame for
proposing it at all.
