You're already allowed to change the spelling of any word in any dictionary you like. This is tha internets, dude! "Definatly" (which may as well be spelled that way, since no one spells it correctly any more anyway).

But keep in mind that if you DO change the spelling of words as you choose, publishers are free to not publish it, too.

I'll take the "u" out of every word that starts witha "q". I don't see what purpose it has since all words that start with a "q" follows with a "u". (If it looks too weird I'll put it back. ;)

Dictionary.com says qi is:
n. The vital force believed in Taoism and other Chinese thought to be inherent in all things. The unimpeded circulation of chi and a balance of its negative and positive forms in the body are held to be essential to good health in traditional Chinese medicine.
[Chinese (Mandarin) qì, air, spirit, energy of life.]
