I once wrote a little something about some of the issues I have with the English language and I was thinking about it again so I decided it was time for me to revisit it in what will probably be a very exciting multi-part saga. Everyone knows learning languages is a difficult thing to do. Every language has its nuances and challenges. I’d write about other languages but I don’t know them really. English is the only language I speak wicked good. Today’s theme…letters.

I’m not sure we need all of them.
x – why? Box…how about bocks. What’s wrong with that? Oh, I know…
bocs…no need for the k. It has the same sound as c.
q – don’t need it. Our least independent letter…can’t go anywhere without the u and even when it does go out, it sounds like a ‘k‘…or rather a ‘c‘. Quick…change it cwic.
So I propose that we get rid of ‘x‘, ‘k‘, and ‘q‘.
Put that in your zerocs machine and copy it. How cwaint.
