100% agree, the c, k, s, ch situation is horrible in English when there are plenty of examples of doing it properly all across Europe. ch as č, ç for c that makes an s sound in case it’s in front a or u like Portuguese.
I don’t have issues with English spelling personally and I like how it looks but I see it as one of the least intuitive languages to spell. Letters are silent, double, triple or quadruple duty all over with tons of exceptions. I think English could really use some diacritics like ğ, ç, š for denoting when a letter does not follow a clear and simple rule like “presšure”, “thouğh” and “façade”.
But yeah, there’s no forcing anything anyway ever, it’s all organic evolution but now we don’t have a bunch go lazy monks trying to save pen strokes to advance the writing system further.
