The roman alphabet is a rather= poor tool for writing English. Spoken English has 22 simple consonants fo= r which only 16 symbols are available, and at least 12 simple vowels for w= hich only 5 symbols are available. Three of the remaining symbols are surp= lus to requirements (C, Q and X), J stands for a compound sound and Y does= double service representing a consonant and a vowel. Adding symbols for c= ompound sounds and the diphthongs means that English requires an alphabet = of between 40 and 50 symbols. Clearly filling this gap with digraphs or a= ccented roman letters is a less than optimal solution.

Bernard Shaw left m= oney in his will for the design of such a new alphabet of 40+ new, simple = and less space- and time-consuming symbols. The result appearing in the fo= rm of printers’ type in 3 styles, a cheap portable typewriter and in handw= ritten correspondance by English speakers spread over four continents.

Wi= th the advent of the computer age, publishing in any symbol set has become= remarkably easy, though webpages, emails and sms remains problematical un= til Unicode becomes universally standard. Nevertheless recording text of t= his kind is always going to take a lot of effort and/or extra expense and = this is very likely to prove to be a permanent barrier to its adoption, ev= en as a parallel system of writing.
