Later in life, Rondthaler became interested in promoting English spelling reform, and more specifically SoundSpel, as a means of fighting illiteracy. In 1986, he and Edward Lias released the Dictionary of simplified American Spelling, which outlined much of what would become SoundSpel. The book writes that "[h]e forsees [sic] that much of what has been achieved in typesetting modernization can now be utilized to bring about equally significant and beneficial changes in our [English] orthography."
