I'm learning about the history of the English language, and it has kome to my attention that we do not aktually need the third letter in the alphabet. It turns out that we already have letters for both of the sounds made by that letter: we have k for things like kat, kar, and kroissant, and we have s for things like sinema, senter, and sity.

Here is a thread where you kan praktise writing without that letter. All you have to do is use s or k instead.

bodies die but voices last.

Isn't that pronounced like an S?

Hm, appears to be between an S and a Ch

It does seem awfullie sillie to be skuandering letters like this when the language alreadie suffers from a superfluitie of phonemes kompared to the paltrie number of roman letters.

Tsickity tsina, the tsinese tsicken
You have a drumstikk and your brain stops tikkin'
Wattsing X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantik
Like Sting, I'm tantrik
Like Snikkers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set of better klubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the bakk-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Kause that kartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

in this senario, do all the other letters that were after the former third one (whitsh shall not be named) get promoted? i.e, is vitamin D the new vitamin [redakted]?
