Lucius Accius - As A Grammarian

As A Grammarian

Accius also attempted to introduce innovations in Latin orthography and grammar, most of which were attempts to change written Latin to more faithfully reproduce its actual pronunciation. Few of these caught on, although his preference against giving Greek names Latin endings had quite a few supporters, particularly Varro, who dedicated his De ambiguitate litterarum to Accius.

A spelling convention of writing long vowels double (such as aa for long ā) is also associated with him, and is found in texts concurrent with his lifetime.
