So are you, flag nerd.

Flag nerds have some issues, but “too many dates” isn’t usually at the top of this list.

the purpose of an alphabet is to represent sounds such that you can correctly pronounce an unfamiliar word.

Is this actually the case, or is an alphabet (like an ideographic writing system) primarily intended to convey meaning to a reader, and may guide pronunciation as a common way of using it in the context of a spoken language?

I’d never understood alphabets to be in service of speaking as their primary function, but I am definitely not a linguist.

I mean programming languages go through a compiler or at least parsed into abstract syntax trees before actually running so you could very easily implement dialects/regional spelling if you really wanted to return aye instead of true.

dialects and specialized vocabulary are basically what Lisp macros are for
