Summary/Abstract: Since the first edition of the Rules of Czech Orthography in 1902, this reference book has become the official source of both orthographic and morphological codification. However, there are many other widely acknowledged reference books that contradict the Rules in regard to some morphological points. This paper suggests that we should abandon the tradition of considering the Rules to be the cornerstone of Standard Czech morphology by replacing it with a more up-to-date and user-friendly book, namely the Academic Vade Mecum of the Czech Language published in 2014.
