I fiuly agree. In fact, I have a multi-step suggestion:
In Year 1 that useless letter “c” would be dropped to be replased either by “k” or “s”, and likewise “x” would no longer be part of the alphabet.
The only kase 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 konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish “y” replasing it with “i” and iear 4 might fiks the “g/j” anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.
Bai iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez “c”, “y” and “x” – bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez – tu riplais “ch”, “sh”, and “th” rispektivli.
Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.
By year 15 or so, it would finally be possible to make use of the redundant letters “c”, “y”, and “x” - by now just a memory in the minds of old ??? - to replace “ch”, “sh”, and “th” respectively.
Finally, them, after some 20 years of orthographical reform, we would have a logical, coherent spelling in use throughout the English-speaking world
I fiuly agree. In fact, I have a multi-step suggestion:
By chance, have you ever read the novel Ella Minnow Pea? I feel like you might enjoy it if you haven’t.

I love it.
Thank you. <3
Slow your roll, Twain
sh → c
ch → tc
kh → x
y and u have their own unqiue sounds associated with them, even if those are not used in English.
I understood up to the last two paragraphs then it’s gibberish
The only word I can’t figure out is “doderez”
