Is Lewis Carroll correct in his suggestion on some abbreviations?

Even Carroll admits, by the word 'innovations' that these spellings are not the usual ones. He had the same rights to change English orthography as any of us have; the method is to use (and explain as necessary) your preferred form, and hope that it catches on. Carroll/Dodgson had certain advantages that most of us do not; he was an Oxford professor, an acknowledged expert in playing with words, and the author of a book that was so popular that Queen Victoria asked him to dedicate his next to her. (The story goes that she was disappointed when it was a learned treatise on mathematics.) Despite all these, none of his innovations seem to have caught on, with the possible exception of traveler which I understand is sometimes used in the United States.
