Love this! A proposal/concept to improve/simplify the alphabet as we know it. First presented in 1950, by Bradbury Thompson, it seems to remain, however, just an(other) idea.
From the source:
To remedy this, Alphabet 26, a plan based upon the logic of consistency, proposed that of the 19 letters that have dissimilar symbols 15 letters should use the uppercase designs [black letters below] and 4 letters should use the lowercase designs [green letters]. The other 7 letters already have identical symbols [blue letters].
The departing premise for such a solution, was the idea that, being the alphabet one of the ultimate objects of (human) design, it clearly/seemingly violates the principle of constancy/consistency, by having two different ways of representing the same symbol/sound.
In other words. Having, actually, 2 alphabets, instead of one (and 45 symbols to represent 26 letters).
