Surely, during your time in high school you came across the popular periodic table of elements, which was essential to learn in order to pass chemistry. If you had trouble memorizing it, you weren’t the only one, but don’t worry, this table also has other very useful uses.
Juan Romeu, a young 31-year-old linguist, came up with the idea of adapting the well-known periodic table of the elements to grammatical style, so that lovers of letters could easily learn and memorize certain fundamental rules.
This incredible way of presenting the spelling table was incredibly successful and spread quickly on all social networks, as it is practical and simple, each of the letters in the table is associated with a spelling rule.

How does it work?
In this table, the elements are associated with each of the spelling rules, it’s probably not something you don’t know but it’s easier to learn it this way.
Romeu came to this brilliant idea considering that learning through graphs is much simpler as well as practical. The idea did not come by itself, Romeu worked for the Royal Spanish Academy for a while.
Seeking to present the rules clearly, Romeu went through different stages “I started to make the table with four elements, and then more and more were added, although the most difficult task was to compact the most important information of each element in the smallest possible space. , making it precise as well as quite clear.”
This periodic table project for spelling rules is titled “No Faults” and its purpose is to improve spelling. In addition, Romeau also seeks that spelling rules are respected and given the value they deserve, which due to so much lack of information or interest on the part of people, has been increasingly lost.

With the help of technology
Currently, some say that the use of social networks has contributed to the increase in bad spelling, however, Romeau does not agree with this approach, and on the contrary, says that today we manage to write more than ever.
Every day technology evolves, and it becomes a very useful tool, everything depends on the use. Surely if you put into practice the teachings contained in this table, you will learn a little more about the characteristics of Spanish.
