	Join me in my Crusade to Alter the Rules of Spelling Forever!!! Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I have a simple proposition, that I wish as many as possible follow for me. I am attempting to get the following spellings accepted (at least unofficailly) as variants of the real ones:

who | what | when | where | why | how
whu | whut | whun | whure | why | huw

Why? Because I started "whut". That one was good, and it just made sense to fill in with the rest. I'm hoping that if I get enough people to come over to the U side it can become an internet tradition (or even make it into real life!!! ).

You can be sure that I will be using these variants from now on, and everyone who supports me gets a cookie.

Sounds nice, but what about the infidels who don´t want to join the party?

Should we liberate them from their wrong spelling by the use of force? Wouldn´t they strike back with self-spelling attacks?

ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

as if english orthography wasn't screwed up enough!

you know what the problem is? we only have five vowel letters, but we have 15 basic vowels. what's worse, those vowel letters are used in pretty much arbitrary patterns to signify those 15 vowels:

who / clue / shoe / threw / through / moo

if you want good, logical orthography using the latin alphabet, we might as well look at finnish for some helpful tips.

better yet, we can use a logical alphabet, like the korean one, and build upon it.

i do mean logical. the symbols for the cyrillic and latin alphabets are arbitrary compared to the sounds they represent, while the korean symbols are unique in that they appear to be an extremely stylized diagram on where the tongue is in relation to the mouth.

You also see a problem may arise with your new spelling system when one wishes to say "can't". The person, upon receiving this word, may bash your brains in.

Whut huve U sturtud...

Why should we fix English instead of start anew from an already logical language? Because, everyone already knows English. (I am exaggerating here, but more people know English than they know logical languages. )

Why turn all the vowels into U? Think. We can finally get rid of those annoying a's, e's, i's, and o's. That will save time teaching children how to read/write, it will save time reading and writing (after we get used to it,) and it will save keyboard manufacturers money because that's 4 less keys to pop in. (As for whut should happen to those blank spaces that are now there...well, they can just stay there. )

As for the Q and X comment, yes, that would be the next phase in the project after all vowels become U's. Q equals Kyu and X equals Eks. C can go down the drain too: C hard = K, and C soft = See.

Sumduy wu wull ull bu rudung und wrutung luk thus.
