Americanish Spelling Reform

c ,ch which is pronounced as [k] must be reformed to k
for example, kolor(color), karakter, o'klock

ph which is pronounced as [f] must be reformed to f

for example, telefon(telephone), Filadelfia(Philadelphia), fotografy(photography)

konklusion(conclusion), konfuse(confuse),konversation(conversation).

i'm phine(fine)

I wanna phly(fly) away....

lol

You could also change c pronounced as /s/ to s, ch pronounced as /tS/ to tsh and drop c completely, you know...

Or just keep it the way it is now (a k at the beginning of a syllable looks horrible anyway).

<<(a k at the beginning of a syllable looks horrible anyway). >>

We can solve that problem by using "ck" for the "k" sound and plain "c" for "s". You'd have:

car -> ckar
keen -> ckeen
quite -> ckuite
Qatar -> Ckatar
lock -> lock
music -> mucick
accident -> ackcident
ask -> acck
sick -> cick
hiccup -> hickckup
brass -> bracc
Mississippi -> Micciccippi

The idea is to make the spelling phonetic, not to simlpy replace one letter with another. The initial consonant in quite is kw, not k. And there's no need to keep the doubled letters in hiccup, etc.

<<The idea is to make the spelling phonetic>>

But that spoils all the fun. Except for the spelling, English is pretty straightforward and trivial. If you make English phonetic, doesn't it become extremely uninteresting or even boring?

... maybe that's why it takes people 8 years to learn English... and not even native-like.

In "An Essay on the Necessity, Advantages, and Practicality of Reforming the Mode of Spelling and of Rendering the Orthography of Words Correspondent to Pronunciation," Noah Webster (dictionary guy) insisted that the rules of spelling English must be reformed for its irregularities. Unfortunately, only some of his ideas caught on, like "draught" became "draft."

But recently a movement called "Globish" has arose.

It is an attempt to distill English into 1,500 words, so that it becomes more accessible to the English Language Learners of the world. This "global alternative" uses phonetic spelling. For example, "I speak English," turns into "i speek ingglish."

I wonder if anyone has an exhaustive list of all the spelling reform proposals ever suggested for English?

I wonder what percentage of these have been adopted?

It may be meaningful for someone. But I seem not get used to the rules, maybe we should leave the position for "klock" of new meaning. ;)
