Every language needs to use the roman/latin alphabet. Enough of this scribble crap. Japan had to come up with three versions of their alphabet just to join the rest of the world.

Not until we dump all the redundant crap, replace all digraphs with single graphemes and standardise pronunciation.
First of all, the C. What do we need it for? The K and the S do the job just fine. And that Q. That's just a K, isn't it? And don't get me started on that X. That's not even a single consonant.

The Kanji at least have some advantege over the Latin Alphabet, Hiragana and Katakana are completely redundant. But since Kanji do nothing to distinguish in your spoken language, might as well ditch them too.
The Latin Alphabet is not the best possible writing system (letters look similar and all), but it is the best widely spread in the world.

You know why kanji sucks so horribly?

Because it was a system highly evolved to the specific needs of a group of very closely related languages, but the Japanese were too dumb to come up with their own writing system, so they had to try and adapt it to their own vastly different language.

And that didn't turn out so great. The Koreans realized this around the 14th century or so, and now have a system that's much more suited to their language.

Every language needs to use a syllibary instead of an alphabet. Enough of this complicated combining of different letters for the same freakin pronunciation.


In that respect, the Korean gooks and Japanese nipnongs got it right with their han'gul and katakana. Hell the UN was considering funding to develop han'gul into a literal universal language because it covers every single syllable that can be used by the human palette.
