We should just reform everything and spell like we speak.

Let me introduce you to slavic languages, where AFAIK it's the rule, not exception

Same for Estonian, which is why we need umlauts for letters that don't exist in many other languages' versions of the latin alphabet. But since we're special snowflakes, we also have õ, which is such an uncommon letter in the world that we have a border sign on our biggest island to signify where the language border exists: On the mainland and most places we use õ, but people on Saaremaa people will use ö instead because they're behind the times.

We also have ž and š but they're a bit less special, many european languages use them. Because how would you even know how to pronounce gelatine without writing it as želatiin?

Couple of years ago I learned Estonian has letters ž and š, and as a Balkan Slav it made me excited (I'm weird) 😂
