 Kollewijn's proposals for a much simplified spelling, which included the effective abandonment of the case system, were adopted by Minister of Education Marchant for use at schools in 1934, which meant that the case endings were no longer taught at school.Kollewijn's spelling was officially implemented by the Belgian and Dutch governments in 1946 and 1947 respectively.Since 1946/1947, only one form is used for all cases, and the only remaining distinction is the one between singular and plural.
