    i would like to destroy all of the vowels (including y) and then watch everyone (myself included..) struggle to pronounce the words...

    - Suppress the K, it's ugly,
    - replace all the K with Q and all the CK with Q too
    - suppress the unnecessary U following most Q, except when pronunciation requires one.
    - replace C (K sound) with Q circumflex
    - replace C (S sound) and Ç with Ŝ (S circumflex)
    - C being now unused is free for new usage : Replace all the SH with C , all the CH with TC
    - replace all the TH with Ĉ (C circumflex)
    - replace all the soft G (sound as a J) with Ĵ (J circumflex)
    - stop calling a W double-u, because it is a double-v, not a double-u
    - and finally STOP pronouncing single vowels like diphthongs, but as simple single vowels as they were originally thought of, use combination of vowels when diphthong sounds are desired.

    very simple design
    lack of creativity and fantasy

    To destroy any letter would be a mere cultural amputation of a historic alphabet .It's just like destroying nature . Why don't we just detroy the idea of destroying which we've learned deeply in play-stations. Besides,if everyone destroys what is "annoying",nothing,noone'll ever survive .

    Q -- there's no need for it at all. Plus it needs that "u" with it 99% of the time. I always wonder when I look at old books and see things like "Iraq" spelled "Irak" (which makes a lot more sense) -- just who decided we needed to use a "Q"?

    Keep the "J" for the soft "j" sound only, and use "g" for the hard "g" sound only -- so "gym" would be written "jim" and "g" would be kept for "gusto"

    I have four of them in mind because to my range of vision they all look alike as if in a mirror , all four are lower case fonts ( db qp pq bd ) , Back to back or forward to forward they will appear the same to me and at times its hard to keep from typing the wrong ones ( just look at how many times d & b show in this comment ) what would you think if you viewed the font " aqqear " the wrong Direction instead of appear .

    I'm going with Q. I find Q annoying because it has to be paired with U to function. When you are playing Scrabble, receiving a Q is a nightmare.

    Probably "c".
    Because a hard "c" sounds like "k", and a soft "c" sounds like an "s". It seems superfluous to me. Of course we'd have to find another way to make blends like "ch".
    I've always thought our alphabet was a bit too complicated, and that there are too many exceptions to spelling rules.
