One of my grandfathers was all for elimination of all silent letters, two letter combinations that sound as one (covers the Q case) and gradual elimination (over say 20 years) of as many sound-alike words (would and wood, for instance) as possible.

But then too, he was also for creation of one world language based on the world's simplest, cleanest language that allows reasonable expression. He felt that English would have to be seriously cleaned up before qualifying.

I liked the Letter Q ! I Never liked the letter K to be honest!
