Shavian: The better English script
English has the worst spelling I know of. It is inconsistent all the way. When someone mispronounces a word, you might think they are avid readers, because it might be the case they learned about the word while reading. If you listen to a word in English there is no guarantee you’ll be able to spell it. That is certainly why English speaking countries have spelling contests, it is not easy. Neither is it clear after you see a word, whether you’ll be able to pronounce it.
