Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I’m sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

    Strich typing would make it much easier to learn … and then much harder to grow, as importing words becomes harder.

    A plural “you” would alleviate some awkwardness here and there. I often use “yous”

    Negatives that match their positives: avoid the difference between “he went” and “he didn’t go”

      he wentn’t © 😂

      why not just say “he did go” vs “he didn’t go”? it’s not that they are different rather that !(“he went”) doesn’t exist.
