Lets sort this alphabet out...

    It goes abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

    Why end at z? It ends rather abruptly. I'm asking us all to gather together, and create a council - a council to finish the alphabet. We need more letters. 26 clearly doesn't suffice. Look at suffice. Why isn't it sufise? What does there have to be an ' before t in isn't? Isnt. Haha. Why is there two o's is look? Lok! LOK YKNOW WHAT IM SAYING.

    That brings me to the unnessicary use of h. This should be the focus of our quest to find new letters. A replacement for the defunct h. It is the appendix of the English language. Look at it in "what". What does it contribute? Some phonetics?! Look at ph?! What's wrong with saying fonetics? H is the source of too much trouble. Lets do our best to avoid the use of h from now on, and substitute our soon-to-be new letter.

    I like it. I think if we got rid of the vowels we're well on our way to one new letter. Lmn. Yes!

    I think we can improve upon it...

    a g d b z d y - x l m n p q 5

    has a better ring to it

    Excellent stuff Rigger. In my travels I uncovered a letter which can be used to make any word, in just one letter!

    That letter is... D

    Why spell words with these so-called "Letters" why can't we sprinkle some symbols in there.

    And I said to him, you're a star

    & ! $€d 2 H!m, y0u're @ *

    However I think the alphabet should be re-done like so:

    a b f b i s y p - e a ww u m * Ωω w ♭ ♫ d d w q 2

    I've brought this thread back to light, there have been some great ideas but the problem remains with the usage of the letter e.

    (o)(o) was the symbol for porn right?

    (o)(o) is 6 symbols

    But I prefer ( . )( . )



    think of how much bandwidth and time we'd save if you only had to enter ONE character to search for porn !

    The one on top, 3rd from the left is porn. The one at the bottom, second from the left is beour. The one in the middle left is "haggle". The one in the top right corner is "wine". The one in the centre is "gear".

    We have made significant progress.
