    Perhaps there should be a letter that represents the sound equivalent to 'sh', and another for the sound equivalent to a hard 'th.' Instead of having to write two letters.

    There used to be, called "mup"...it sounded like a quick fart. Since none of our words contain the sound, it was dropped from the alphabet.

    A letter that accompanies another word but adds an accented UH or A to the end; that way rap songs wouldn't piss me off so much with their incorrect rhyming. Perhaps the shape would be a double O. (i.e. shortie lookin' okay-uh, dancing on me like her muth-uh, etc. Not to put down rap or anything.)

    No need to add a 27th letter, we should just recycle the ones we already have but don't need.

    The letter "C" makes sounds that S and K can handle, so we should reassign it for the "ch" sound.

    "X" can be replaced by CKS or in some cases Z, and we DO use both of those already, so maybe we could use X for the "sh" sound.

    Finally the letters I and Y can do essentially the exact same thing. Spell "yes" and "ies" or spell "why" as "whi" and there is really very little difference. Maybe we could recycle "I" and use it to show that glottal sound in "uh-oh" or to replace the "t" in mountain (here in Utah people say "mou'ain).

    And just get rid of Q.
