because the english language was blatantly trying to keep the romans at the gates and in check and in some sort of ****** need to penetrate the sulphur cliffs of dover (i'm a daltonist mind you, i see them as sulphur tinged than a morose magnolia pale slightly pinky) - because the old guard was kept, no barbaric diacritical innovation was applied, and because of this, instead of acquiring the barbaric ß (sh s z ś interchange) or the barbaric egalitèr(e) - yes, looks pretty, but a flying **** in terms of comprehension, porky... so instead of revised latin phonetic optic encoding, we have the modern dilemma of english over-use of acronyms, e.g.: 2moro, 2nite, gr8, ***, tfh, ***... the english language has become acronym mad and subsequently, very very ugly.
