Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

It'd be spelled 𐑮𐑪𐑯𐑛𐑱𐑝𐑵 in Shavian script English, is that better?
It's easier to read at least, but we loose the etymology.
I also liked the idea of shavian, but I eventually drowsed myself into anglish or what you might call frenchless english or plain english.
That is not to say shavian is not worth your time, it certainly is markworthy.
I have no idea how practical it is, but I've definitely been all-in ever since !shavian@lemmy.world popped up a week ago or so lol. It's just really pretty looking and fun
French is an abomination of a language.

I love how french has somehow become plural, plus if I remember history correctly, french was raped into English.
