So, after some awesome day dreaming in class, I, Duke Rubin, has competently decided to issue this Edict:
Let it be hereby declared before the Wrought Iron Bench of Meeting that the letter "x" is now abolished from the Shirelese alphabet!
Yes, I have decided to abolish the letter "x" because I have determined that it is the most useless letter in the alphabet (after "c", which has also been abolished from the Shirelese alphabet)... I have determined that most words that use "x" can be replaced with either "z" or "ks"... For example:
"xylophone" is now "zylophone"
"six" is now "siks"
"sixth" is now "siksth"
Indeed, I have discovered that "Natrix" will have to change as well.... and seeing that, Natrix, I hope you are OK with your noble name being spelt as "Natriks" in Shirelese....
But yes..... this is the second letter to be abolished from the Shirelese alphabet! Take that horribe letter! You are now condemed to hall of shame, just like "c" and the prefix "ph"! BAH!

No no, I agree with the change. It certainly makes your language more efficient, because those 2 letters can indeed be replaced by other existing ones...
May I also propose the abolition of other useless letter combos? pn- kn-
And how about exclusively using j where the g is soft, such as in "genome" or "gems"? That way, it can only be hard g. Oh, the possibilities!
how about just getting rid of letters completely, and us just communicating through interpretive dance? i am all up for that.
What about Q? I think that's even more useless than X, which can be interpreted as a 'click' sound in some languages, which is actually a little distinctive from 'ks'
So take out Q, I demand it! Muahahahaha.
