As long as it helps you, right?

Good luck!

Ah I now get what you’re trying to do, I think?

Having some kind of sonic(?) shorthand for specific spellings right?

It’s kind of like trying to solve the Gothi problem, maybe?

Needlessly complicated, but that’s a common theme in English anyway, so it should fit right in.

And I love this line 😂

If you’re mapping a specific mouth sound to a specific character, why not use the IPA? That’s exactly what it is designed to do.

That way you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

For a better introduction to the IPA, check this video.

I actually wanted to link this song by Perturbator, but this was a happy little accident (^^,)

That definitely sounds like a good idea and not ominous at all…

I see you point; but not even 200 years ago the people couldn’t imagine most people working in other “industries” than agriculture.

Historically, most people worked in agriculture. (I’m not sure of the percentage, but it was >80% IIRC, but we can take a low estimate at 50%).

Nowadays less than 5% of the world population works in agriculture, due to increases in automation (machinery that can plow and harvest), and better understanding of the process (more efficient use of land).

While some of that turned out to be bad for the environment (who knew biodiversity is good, actually?), it did free up most of the population to do other things.

I hope it’s not “AI” that will automate the future (because of the huge energy costs to the environment), but automation more generally could help us free more time for passionate pursuits.

Jobs like software engineer didn’t even exist a century ago, and who knows what kind of new jobs will be created in the next 100?
