So can we all agree the way of writing this language is shit and should be overhauled?

I suggest ß, þ and ч get introduced for ss, th, and ch respectivly
And also drop c entirely, it can be replaced by the already existing s and k

Diacritical marks are needed

Ss rarely occurs in orthography and it's not phonemic. It can just be dropped.


Why introduce some esoteric slavrune when we can just use 'c' for 'ch'.
>>
>>2231221
Cart and cart. One of these is something you carry things in, the other is a visual way of representing data.
>>
>>2231229
Yes but under the new system, it'd be Kart and Cart respectively.

Tho to reeducate the public on a new system is thankless work, and the less changes the made to fix english, the better.

If naything needs an overhaul, it's sanskrit, mandarin, and finnish.

I suppose it is doable since English has some really lame rules to make it look more like Latin.

But personally prefer language to evolve organically.

implying the way you write a language has anything to do with its actual evolution

>>2231318
Sure I am not aware it ever did, but nowadays it does.
>>
>>2231321
Explain.
>>
>>2231323
>Explain.
Well, I am still wrong, since it only really applies to chatroom and messaging.
I admit to be wrong.

No one seriously follows those. The participle rule is also a great way to spot people you know you won't like.

>>2231341
I do not even remember what it exactly was, Steven Pinker mentioned it once, in a video I think.

I think it had to do with grammar.
>>
>>2231318
The way a language is written is still something that develops and changes naturally over time

How about for just þis þread we use þose?
