Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations

All English dialects are a complete mess now. There won’t be Australian/British/American spelling. There will be a completely new spelling made by clever people, not by linguists. By people who can and want to make language bearable, not just clutching the status quo no matter what.
Look at Esperanto(before you might object about artificiality and widespread… Ukrainian also has that letter-sound bijection approach. Georgian as far as I know. I’m sure there are more) for example and see how convenient and logical can spelling be. Sometimes old things are so broken and outdated that you just throw them away and ask engineers to make a new thing. That’s why our cars don’t have 4 horse-based legs.

Sure mate. I’m sure the engineers will step in and fix all the language problems any day now.
