+
+For example, in Year 1 that useless letter 'c' would be dropped to be replaced either by 'k' or 's', and likewise 'x' would no longer be part of the alphabet.
+The only case in which 'c' would be retained would be the 'ch' formation, which will be dealt with later.
+
+Year 2 might reform 'w' spelling, so that 'which' and 'one' would take the same consonant, while Year 3 might
+well abolish 'y' replacing it with 'i' and Year 4 might fix the 'g/j' anomaly once and for all.
+
+Generally, then, the improvement would continue year by year with Year 5 doing away with useless
+double consonants, and Years 6-12 or so modifying vowels and the remaining voiced and unvoiced consonants.
+
+By Year 15 or so, it would finally be possible to make just off the redundant letters 'c', 'y' and 'x'
+-- by now just a memory in the minds of old dodderers -- to replace 'ch', 'sh', and 'th'
+respectively.
+
+Finally, then, after some 20 years of orthographical reform, we would have a logical, coherent spelling in just
+throughout the English-speaking world.
