The idea of grammar is interesting to me. Who came up with it? And spelling. When did spelling become standardized? Did someone decide one day that our language needed to work like this, and not like that? If so, he didn't do it very well. I'll admit that grammar usually works well, but spelling does not.
Look at words like "eight" and "bomb." They don't sound like they look at all (and why do we have to have words for numbers? Why not just write it 8?) Standardized spelling is good, but why not make it a little more sensical. English, supposedly, is written phonetically. Wouldn't it be great if that were true? "Facade" should be written "fussad," and the letter K should be eliminated, since it's redundant to C. As for letters:
G should no longer share a sound with J.
C should cease to share with S.
X, Q and K should be removed from the alphabet.
The sounds Sh, Th and Ch should be replaced by, respectively, Q, K and X.
And those are my thoughts for the day.
Goodbye, valiant reader,

I would argue that C should be removed because it could be replaced by S and K.
K should be saved! ....otherwise what would differentiate between my name (Kent) and a coin (cent)???
Just thought I would throw in my 2 kents .....er .....cents worth!
(So to speak!)
= Kent =
