Join me in my Crusade to Alter the Rules of Spelling Forever!!!

[mrmitchell]

I have a simple proposition, that I wish as many as possible follow for me. I am attempting to get the following spellings accepted (at least unofficailly) as variants of the real ones:

who | what | when | where | why | how
whu | whut | whun | whure | why | huw

Why? Because I started "whut". That one was good, and it just made sense to fill in with the rest. I'm hoping that if I get enough people to come over to the U side it can become an internet tradition (or even make it into real life!!! ).

You can be sure that I will be using these variants from now on, and everyone who supports me gets a cookie.

Crusade!

Sounds nice, but what about the infidels who don´t want to join the party?

Should we liberate them from their wrong spelling by the use of force? Wouldn´t they strike back with self-spelling attacks?

[mrmitchell]

!!!

Sounds nice, but whAt about the infidels

it's whUt!

Well, the infidels will eventually be overrun.

Ahh, I see you have already predicted the next phase of my U-expansion campaign: Into all vowels that can easily be replaced by it.

It's grammar, not "grammer."

Oh Gods of Grammar, let mrmitchell be spared from your wrath, for he does not know what he is doing.

This heretic MUST be silenced at once! How dare he go against official Church doctrine. He must not be allowed to pollute the impressionable minds of our youth with his ungodly notions...

ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

as if english orthography wasn't screwed up enough!

you know what the problem is? we only have five vowel letters, but we have 15 basic vowels. what's worse, those vowel letters are used in pretty much arbitrary patterns to signify those 15 vowels:

who / clue / shoe / threw / through / moo

if you want good, logical orthography using the latin alphabet, we might as well look at finnish for some helpful tips.

better yet, we can use a logical alphabet, like the korean one, and build upon it.

i do mean logical. the symbols for the cyrillic and latin alphabets are arbitrary compared to the sounds they represent, while the korean symbols are unique in that they appear to be an extremely stylized diagram on where the tongue is in relation to the mouth.
