A plan for the improvement of spelling in the English language
By Mark Twain
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
Generally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeiniing voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x"— bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez —tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivili.
Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.

It might look satirical and alien if you're a retard who only knows English, but that typing is similar to what you see in French and Greek.

>B and V are literally the same and are mostly used randomly except for a couple of rules.

Agreed apart from Y/J (although I'd consider squishing Y and I) and B/V. I'd also consider getting rid of X for ks

What you faggots never understand is that languages constantly change, and English especially since it's spreading. If the spelling is constantly changed to reflect the pronounciation, an average person wouldn't be able to read a text from the past. People in one place would have a harder time undesrtanding written English from any other part of the world. The strength of the English language is that a very large number of people all other the world understand eachother, especially in writing. Languages like Korean can have these perfect spelling sytems due to it being relatively indepedent of other languages around it, and due to its agglutinative grammar. Meanings can be inferred more easily from word structure simply because of the regular morphology. English is not that. English is a hot mess if you try to make sense of it through phonology and morphology. You would be better off trying to implement a logographic writing system like Chinese has in English than a perfectly regular spelling system.
