Having the force of law in Portugal and having been made due to the establishment of the republic in an attempt to distance the monarchy from the people, this reform completely changed the appearance of the written language and indirectly led to all subsequent orthographic reforms/agreements.
Among these proposals were the Bases da Ortografia Portuguesa, from 1885, by Aniceto dos Reis Gonçalves Viana and Guilherme de Vasconcelos Abreu.
[1] Soon after the establishment of the republic in Portugal, on 5 October 1910, the new government, committed to extending schooling and combating illiteracy, named a commission - made up of Gonçalves Viana, Carolina Michaëlis, Cândido de Figueiredo, Adolfo Coelho, Leite de Vasconcelos, Gonçalves Guimarães, Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, Júlio Gonçalves Moreira, José Joaquim Nunes, Borges Grainha and Augusto Epifânio da Silva Dias (who asked to be excused) - to establish a simplified orthography to be used in official publications and teaching.
The foundations of the Orthographic Reform, very much inspired by the proposals of 1885, were made official by decree on 1 September 1911,[2] allowing for a transition period of three years.
But I hate, with true hatred, with the only hatred I feel, not anyone who writes Portuguese badly, not anyone who doesn't know syntax, not anyone who writes in simplified orthography, but the badly written page, as a person, the wrong syntax, as a person to be beaten, orthography without ipsilon, as direct spit that disgusts me no matter who spits it out.
