Why does our alphabet suck? Some days, I wish I spoke Russian, just so I could write in cyrillic. It's like a code. I'd even settle for Finnish or Icelandic, even though their syntax pisses me off. I'm that big of a fan of the umlaut. I met a guy in Egypt named Søern. If I have children, maybe I'll give them a middle name with a bunch of fun characters. They'll be the envy of all budding phonologists. Think of it:
Phineas Ørn Pritchett: Ørn means eagle. That's way fucking cooler than 'eagle' any day. Plus his initials would be PØP! Way too cool for school. I bet he'd piss all of his teachers off. He'd have arguments with people about his middle name, because they'd say, "That's not your middle name, that's not even a letter." He would respond, "False, you don't speak Norwegian, do you?" Conversation over.
Anyways, I'm on your side Robbie. I'm throwing our alphabet out the window, and maybe I'll even change my name to something like Guðbjörg.
