Alphabet
I was thinking (get used to it) one day, and I came to the conclusion that the alphabet has been getting boring. I mean, it's always the same 26 letters in the exact same order, with each letter or combination of letters making only a certain set of sounds. That's why no one wants to learn languages. It's just too boring. So, in my attempt to help make the world a better and more exciting place, I shall ("Shall." Why not "will?") do my part to bring new interest to the English language. If you speak some other language, you're on your own.
You know what would do it? Add more letters. I know for some of you, 26 is a lot to learn, but I'm not talking about adding them all at once. Every few years, those guys who deterime whether or not "propagandarization" is a word (And if it isn't, it should) would convene to create a new letter of the alphabet, determine its usage, and maybe switch the order a bit. This may take a while, especially if they also supply flag football flags for my school, so I will go ahead and get the ball rolling with an easy one. In fact, it was a letter of the English alphabet, but due to some really weird reason or another, it did not make the cut, and is only available in Iceland. The letter I am thinking about is "þ." It takes the place of "th" pronounciation-wise, and it sounds like "thorn." And so, I encourage people to use þis new letter þourghly and as many times as you can. Because, frankly, "th" does not sound like þe combination of þe letters "t" and "h." It makes no sense at all. So, get everyone to use þis letter, and maybe þose guys who make up þis language of ours will listen and give us a more exciting language. I mean, seriously, þe only people who might not like it are English teachers, but at least þey would now know what it's like to chemistry teachers when þey discovered Ununhexium. Because as we all know, Ununhexium is very possibly þe most important element on þe table.
