    I'm in favor of replacing ch with just c, so you'd have a kappakuolo and ceese sandwic. That way, it isn't redundant and we have fewer special cases.

    Also, "x" is usually redundant with "ks", so use it for what's currently "sh" to eliminate another redundancy and another special case.

    Add back the thorn and eth for "th" and use "f" instead of "ph" and consonants are actually pretty consistent.

    Edit: I can't believe I forgot ditching the soft "g" and "s", so it'd actually be ceeze.

    But what if i want a keese sandwick? Or are we keeping the k and just ditcing ch?

    Well, yeah, you need the "k" for the sounds it currently has. How else will you have kites or air konditioning?

    For me it helps speaking other languages, because once you do it no longer matter whether each sound has it's own letter. Every language, afaik, has a unique sound while all languages I know share the Latin alphabet which really makes it a lot easier to learn that language. I don't think life would improve if each sound had an exclusive letter.
