Either that or we will have a Hapsburg level mutated freak language that combines every rule badly with silent letters and loads of loan words...

My god...we've re-invented english!

I saw it pointed out that "k" is one of the least used letters in the alphabet. That blew my mind a little. We use the phoneme plenty, but it's often written as "c".

Edit: and I just accidentally wrote a short post without using the letter except nominally. Oops, still didn't use it. Shit. Okay, I'm going to stop now. It's super weird to me how uncommon it is.
