An Open Letter to JavaScript Leaders Regarding Semicolons(blog.izs.me)

    For example, in Year 1 that useless letter c would be dropped to 
    be replased either by k or s, and likewise x would no longer be 
    part of the alphabet. The only case in which c would be retained 
    would be the ch formation, which will be dealt with later.

    Year 2 might reform w spelling, so that which and one would take 
    the same consonant, while Year 3 might well abolish y replacing it 
    with i and Year 4 might fix the g/j anomaly wronse and for all.

    Generally, then, the improvement would continue year by year 
    with Year 5 doing away with useless double consonants, and Years 
    6-12 or so modifying vowels and the remaining voiced and unvoiced 
    consonants.

    By Year 15 or so, it would finally be possible to make ius of thi 
    redundant letters c, y and x — by now just a memory in the minds 
    of ould doderez — to replace ch, sh, and th respectively.

    Finally, then, after some 20 years of orxogrefcl reform, we would have 
    a logical, cohernt spelling in ius xrewawt the English-speaking world.
