@simonmaechling That's a stretch. Electrons and neutrons come to mind.

@scottiebateman Very nice!
We have occasional visits from C-130s flying nap of the earth about 100 feet above our dwelling (https://t.co/sKXZEwjhaH). Usually, just one aircraft. When close, the structure (pleasantly) reverberates with aircraft noises.

@RemingtonArms Nice work!

@HelmerVA To say that you are full of shit is to erroneously allow you have residual value as fertilizer.

[Gary Gapinski @GaryGapinski]

@PeterDMayr @thinkingwest No. I think I will just consider you a fanatic and cease interaction.

@sciencegirl Best to use Picaridin, liberally, when in the bush.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is also life threatening.

I grew up learning English both written and oral. I encountered few impediments. I was reading fluently by the age of seven because I read many things all the time. I would rather not debate the propriety of using something other than what I, and many others, employed in order to master the English language.
I think you are flogging a dead horse, so to speak. If you foster a replacement for English prose, trot it out for admiration and admonition. I suspect managing one grapheme per lexeme per utterance will be a difficult task, since there are quite a few folks who use English proficiently.
Your "citations" lack vigor and are not your own.

"The English spelling system has 1/2 of all of its words not adhering to the alphabetic one-letter-one-sound principle."
Whose principle is that?
Not at all easy to change. Fails when diphthongs, and other long-standing orthographic usages, are considered.
Unless I misunderstand, you would prefer to alter orthography rather than help folks master the existing gift of the ages.
Also, nepitism is not a word: nepotism is.
How would you spell schism in a way that linked single characters to single sounds?

@Rainmaker1973 I like the Sri Lankan one most.

@F0ODHub Donuts have negative value.

@Osint613 Intemperate comments yield unfirtunate results.

[Gary Gapinski @GaryGapinski]

@RomeInTheEast And it lasted a millennium. Such persistence seems to make Lecky's comment look foolish.

@ZidiKuri14927 1.

@CollinRugg The correct term for such is Democrats.

[Gary Gapinski @GaryGapinski]

@FoodPleaser Probably not. There are superior alternatives.

[Gary Gapinski @GaryGapinski]

@TodayinHistory That was not very long ago.
