q is short for queue and you need c for ch
actually no
q is useless
rare-sapphire•4mo ago
hi suarescream
tame-yellow•4mo ago
why is C on the list
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
because some people think it can be replaces with s and/or k
pacific ocean -> pasifik osean
narrow-beige•4mo ago
im s now
no im k
sk
skek ?
fair-rose•4mo ago
c was forced into the alphabet through other languages
you can have another sound for ch
for like a letter
stormy-gold•4mo ago
Z is the most useless
I fucking hate Z
Like genuinely
I want whoever invented the letter Z to be publicly executed via condensed milk
narrow-beige•4mo ago
people say w and y are useless cuz theyre semivowels but imagine saying "Iolanda's iellow iogurt iields a iummy iearning ien" or "uild uinds uhipped uhite from the uharf"
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
y is useful af
y and w make sounds no other letter can
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
q
because
kw
plus without the u its silent
same for x
ks
but x is in my irl name so i like
or k becaude it can be replaced with a c
c is more versatile due to it also being able to make an s
which also makes s a bit useless
but imagine typing like
thic
itc co weird
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
eks-ray
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
ive gotta say it here
K is the most useless
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
K has a specific purpose
C does not besides tch
pacific ocean can be rewritten as pasifik osean and still be pretty readable
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
would it be better
-using a multipurpose letter
-using multiple other letters
hmm
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
multipurpose might create ambiguity
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
actually id say other letters
might be a bit confusing for
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
its pretty easy to tell kow "kitty" is pronounced, but maybe not "citty"
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
exactly
i change my mind
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
yippeee
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
but also
what about “ch”
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
q is extremely replaceable though
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
im personally thinking about it like
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
the only sound q ever makes is k
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
“what letter being removed would be the most impactful?”
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
e could be substituted for i but probably not well
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
and then the one that is the least impactful is useless
e is the most common letter
tho
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
yeah
you said most impactful
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
like what would make the most difference
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
⚙️⚙️
yeah so
removing e
would be
really impactful
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
yeah
because of how common it is
talking lik this would b so wird to gt usd to
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
J and G fill the same sound
and its odd
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
g makes a sound other letters cant make with its unique one
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
actually no its just J that is also fufilled by G
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
exactly
z is one
of the least common
but it has a sound that cant be replicated
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
but it has a unique sound
yeah
it can be approximated with c but its just not the same
flat-fuchsia•4mo ago
my personal candidates are:
c, j and q
narrow-beige•4mo ago
i would personally replace j with [ezh]
maybe x with [esh]
and c with [cyrillic letter che]
schwa ?
stormy-gold•4mo ago
No
Þ
Þebra
tame-yellow•4mo ago
last time that i had to use the letter Q was yesterday or smth
