Getting rid of letter H

My English teachers openly stated that they wanted to stop the English language from changing further, that they wanted it standardized. They said that was the reason we couldn't use the word 'aint'. They insisted it wasn't really a word. They were wrong. They were also wrong to teach us the letter 'H', the most useless letter.

My point is this: lets get rid of letter H. Its mostly useless. Look what appens wen I don't use it. Nuting terrible. We don't need it. Unlike letter A, the letter H does not by itself signify anyting. Plenty of countries speak English witout it. 'H' simply makes tings arder to spell and longer to write. Get rid of it!

"H" is what keeps good clean Americastanians from sound like ignant Cockneys.
Consider the awful phrase, " 'enry 'iggens"
Think of the children!

There are more important things to change in language.
We need new letters for:
- hard "th" sound
- soft "th" sound

We need to get rid of the "ough", & replace it with something less ambiguous.

We need the interrobang!

I love Cockney accents though. :D

Taking out an H doesn't always change the sound. My name is Rhonda, sounds the same without the H. Therefore, more evidence to its worthlessness. :yes:

Well, of course a silent letter is worthless.
But would you use the same lame unamericastanian rationale to eliminate
"p" (cuz of the word pneumonia) or "o" (cuz of "opossum")? I think not!

Someting or noting?

No no. It will not do. That is why in South India instead of H they pronounce it as Hhaich. They know.

We must resort to re-Germanizing the language so words are spelled as pronounced. Doing so would eliminate requests to do get rid of H and make words spelled as pronounced, but it wouldn't be as fun trying to type words and readable sentences that have no H.
And what would Stewie say for Cool WHip? Just a regular Cool Wip?
