    Oh, that’s strange! I used to hate that Spanish (my first language) had all these extra additions to the base Latin alphabet as a kid and thought English looked more elegant for that reason. So for someone to actively want that feels strange.

    I mean, now I know better having learned a bit of linguistics, but it’s still trippy for someone like me coming from the other side having grown up with these preconceived ideas.

    I really like the alternative spelling, though. I think it could be useful for teaching English pronunciation.
