It's Time to Fix the English Alphabet

The English language is one of, if not THE, hardest languages to learn because its old foundation, the alphabet, has major cracks in the form of inconsistencies and redundancies, and is often illogical, absurd, and unnecessarily over-complicated & convoluted. As a simple layman who has only been using the English language for almost half a century, I share my thoughts, perspective, reasoning and examples as to how and why it's broken, then propose a possible solution in which we might fix it without a complete overhaul or introducing any drastic changes.

This video also serves as a way for me to simply add my voice to the ones already out there who have previously raised this issue and have been calling for such reform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-language_spelling_reform My website: https://ephemeralrift.com
