Why did they make the star uglier is my big question.

Qtotonibudinibudet posted:they are though? the purpose of an alphabet is to represent sounds such that you can correctly pronounce an unfamiliar word. the fact that written english doesn't represent different vowels with different letters is an artifact of it having infinity dialects and no spelling reform ever. English has had several spelling reforms. They haven't worked very well overall. Part of the problem is dialects, but it's also that relatively few English words even have a single pronunciation within the dialect - most have several correct but contextual pronunciations, and trying to capture that in written english would be a headache, so with a few exceptions (like common contractions) we usually don't even bother to try.
