Saying you're down to do something means the same thing as saying you're up for it.

C / K / S. Remove X. Change letter names to match their sounds.

A / ugh / Ayyy.

B = Buh

C = Removed? It's just K or S in reality.

D - Dih

E - same?

Etc. etc. there's better linguists than an old school Grammar Nazi turned Language Darwinist.

I like the idea of removing upper and lower case letters too and changing their denotation with a new symbol, but I'd have to think longer about case studies or could be easily persuaded.

C has some uses other than K/S. The usage in "ch"ess, for instance. We'll have to shoehorn some other letter here if C is eliminated.

Or we may just reassign "c" to always sound "ch" since it's freed from other sounds, and save some ink, too 😉
