English needs more letters.

Seriously, there's all this cool shit out there like Þ, Ŋ, Ɔ, Ƣ, and Ѧ, and we're limiting ourselves to A through Z? Come on!

Piranha isn't pronounced piranya and machine isn't pronounced makine, also
Does writing "filozofy" instead of "philosophy" wouldn't be already a progress?
Your English is fucking terrible, stop giving us native speakers recommendations on how we should use it.

1)First of all, this topic was made by some native speaker, about changing English orthography. So, I'm completely on topic and not "guivin you netives speackers recumemdashoms haw you shoold uze it", even if you didn't like my proposes.

2)[i]Ad hominem[i] fallacy ("you are no nevite speacka so you canot opeine loloollo") doesn't invalidate arguments.

3)I proposed "piranya" because doesn't change so much English spelling, yet using "ny" is better than "nh" in this case (there's no fucking /h/ sound in this word). If you have some better solution, SHOW IT or just go back to /b/.

4)I made a retarded mistake with "machine", but CH is still plain stupid in it - /məˈʃiːn/ has no /tʃ/ sound.

5)Yes, some NATIVE SPEAKERS pronounce "philosophy" with a plain /z/ sound.

TL;DR: lern2troll, butthurt newfag... kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Ahmmmm, forgot:
6)The /z/ sound is because English spelling is retarded and misleading EVEN FOR NATIVES. I heard it and am dead serious.

1) I'm not denying it was made by a native speaker
2) You are fucking stupid
3) Better suggestion? There's no /h/ or /y/ in piranha, so "pirana" or "piranna"
4) Mashine then
5)I'm not saying some don't, (I don't, oddly enough) but that sentence I quoted was grammatically incorrect.
6)Cool

What the fuck? You don't even know what you're arguing about

1) OK.

2)Trying to save your ad hominem with another ad hominem. Cool, this is smartness! Oh yes, I am the stupid one here... LOL.

3)Protip: you didn't mean /y/ sound but /j/, as in "yes" /jɛs/ - front unrounded semivowel. There's no /y/ in English (unlike German "ü" or French "u"). And yes, there is a /j/ sound in "piranha" for some dialects.

The "nha" in the word is pronounced as /nə/ or /-njə/, and the first "a" is pronounced as /æ/ or /ɑː/ (check Wikipedia). Since there's dialectal variation, you can just pick the spelling that sounds nearer the original [piˈɾɐ̃ɲɐ] - in this case, "piranya". Or propose another tiebreaker than etymology.

4)OK.

5)Sleep deprivation fucks my grammar. Not only with English.

Yes, I do. I'm showing that English orthography's worst problem is not lack of letters or something like that, is LACK OF CONSISTENCY.
