I just learned of the Shavian Alphabet yesterday. It's designed specifically for English and fits it well, except the sounds in it are so specific that when you write in it, you have to write in a specific regional accent. Fortunately it can't become a new set of special cases because it's an entirely new script not related to Latin.
Yep.

At that point, surely we'd use the International Phonetic Alphabet instead.
The letter shapes are a lot nicer and they can all be written easily with a single stroke. IPA is really ugly IMHO.
