Abjads are butt.

The only linguistic argument I’ll accept is that using it amongst fluent speakers doesn’t cause linguistic arguments.

You’re kind of in pickle if it catches on though, no? Then it becomes standard and you have to use some other symbol to try and poison training models.

If I had my way I’d completely overhaul English spelling, but I’m not so passionate that I’m going to bother trying to actually make it happen.

From a hand-writing perspective, I’m a big fan of syllabaries. But when you have to use a keyboard, an alphabet is pretty damn good. English could easily switch to quasi phonetic spelling by repurposing redundant consonants and adding accents to voewls.
