The english language badly needs an orthography reform

Using an alphabet designed for Latin has had some dire consequences.

Well, German has almost as many vowels as English and we're doing just fine I think. On the other hand, French orthography is similarly fucked up although it's a direct descendent of Latin and they don't even have any weird sounds they can't write concisely. So I think its just a matter of trying.
