Now this is a pretty good english spelling reform ^(Don't know why you deleted the hellenization though)
Thanks!
This alternate English orthography is actually not too bad, with an emphasis on a more 'continental' vowel pronunciation that is used in the rest of the Latin script-writing world. A while back I had also created [an alternate orthography with very similar principles in mind](https://alternatescriptbureau.wordpress.com/2021/07/09/yet-another-alternate-english-orthography-yaaeo/) with slightly different diacritic and digraph choices. The only issue I have would be referring to /æ/ and /ɛ/ as 'long vowels' - these are not long vowels by any measure, were you trying to group vowels into nice and neat 'short' and 'long' categories? Still, great job regardless!
Thanks!
First post!
Is this your first post? Because I remember your other posts. *Didn’t you make another Sinitic conlect? There was an account like this, but they deleted their account.*
Yes, and I will make more.
This is the first logical spelling reform I've seen
I agree, this is a really nice spelling reform.
