Y, why only sometimes you indecisive bastard?
I love Christine

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

F so that I could never get an F again in any test. I rather get a Z or a G as a grade because at least they aren't used to spell failure.

Nah, keep F and use it in plase of "Ph".

Aktually, while we're at it, we should replase "th" with "z", and "w" with "v". We should also remove all double letters and silent "e" bekause these traditionally hinder akkurate spelling:

And "x" can be written as "ks", "w" as "uu", "y" as "ai" or "i" and "j" as "dsha", "dshe", "dshi, "dsho", "dshu".

"th" is not equal with "z", the same with "w" and "v".
Double Letters are meant to distinguish between short and normal/long Vocals.

In your Example, it's difficult to understand the Difference between the "o" in "no" ("nou") and the "o" in "more" or even the "u" in "trubl" compared to the "u" in "dificultis" or in the "tu" or in "komunikat", which somehow misses an "i" (kommiunikeit").

Replace c with k, in some languages (the smart ones) c is barely used because k works just find the vast majority of the time, and if we had to live without it I'm pretty sure it'd work fine.

Maybe. Although the Spelling in Latin is also pretty logical if it weren't for Things like "Caesar" which could be either "Tse - sar" or "Ka - e - sar" or "Kä - sar" ("Kae- sar").

edit: It's actually "Kai - sar", but I almost always hear it as "Tse - sar" in German.
Probably, because "Kaiser" would be too close, otherwise (but "ar" would make more Sense, spelling-wise.)

I really hate some of the silly things the academics decided to honor Latin by, though. Like inserting a "b" into "debt" to remind everyone that it had evolved from the SUPERIOR Latin word "debitum" - even though the preferred spellings, "dette" and so on, made considerably more sense.

But you know, at least whenever the words graced the common peasant's tongue, he would be forever reminded of his precious Latin, thus ensuring it would never become a dead langua-

English really is pants-on-head retarded, though. No language should be allowed a word with 4 silent letters in it.

7 AM is already over. It's all a Question of which "7 AM" you mean. The 7 AM of Yesterday or the 7 AM in another Time Zone.

Also, how can a MAL Picture you've probably seen a lot without even that seductive Content let you feel in the Mood for that?

"Muto" is actually "Mutō". It's just the English, that are too lazy to put over the Stroke above a long, Japanese "o".

The "-ate" endings could be replaced with "- ät".

If it comes to literally transcribe every Syllable, yes. But Things like ちゃ don't strike me as anywhere beneficial to transcribe them as "tya" (ti + ya), but rather as "cha".
On the other Hand, the Particle はtranscribed as "wa" or を as "o" is a bit confusing.
Ultimately, you have to learn how to pronounce the Letter Combinations in every Languages separately, so I can see your Criticism of the Hepburn System.

"ät" is "aet" and not "eit" (ey - t) in "ate" or "eight" (gh symbolizes the lost [x] Sound, btw. Just compare German "Acht" with "Eight" or "Knight" with "Knecht" (actual Meaning nowadays in German: "Ritter") or "Might" with "Macht" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gh_%28digraph%29).
Where is the "i" Sound in "ät"?
