@@bloswi yeah ofc, i was using "letters", because the op also used the term, what i mean is that in binary there is only 1 and 0 and it doesn't matter whether you use any other characters -- it doesn't change the meaning, so there are 2 "symbols". but in morse code, --. and -/-. mean something very different, so it makes sense to classify the spaces as separate symbols (just like in english and other writing systems!)
One thing I've thought about recently is that Y and W are basically just vowels but nobody is ready to accept that. (This monologue also goes over why A is weird) There are 5 (main) vowels: A, E, I, O, U. However, there are more "vowel sounds" than letters mainly considered vowels. Initially I was going to list out these vowel sounds, and at one point try to attribute each one to a vowel, but I've kept adding to the list and realized that vowel sounds are more like a spectrum in the same vein as colors; some are definitely, clearly one sound, but others are more muddied and could go for one or another. In the end, it all comes down to what you're able to "hold down." For as long as you want, you can keep making those real vowel sounds, "ah," "eh," "ee," "oh," "oo," "uh," etc. But you can't hold down things like "ay"s or "eye"s (I'm not sure how the signature I sound would be spelt. "ai?" "ae?" "eye" is just simpler to understand); if you try it, you'd notice that you're just holding down one of those other vowel sounds, and sliding to another in the process. "Ay" is just "eh"+"ee," "eye" is just "ah"+"ee," and so on if there's any I'm forgetting. These are what I will call "compound vowels." Back to Y and W. In the case of Y, there's obviously words like, well, "obviously," where Y serves as the "ee" sound, very clearly. But for words like "young," "yuck," yum," words with the signature Y sound, you can try the holding test again. As you will notice, these cases also serve as an "ee" sound. There is no "yuh," its just "ee" + "uh." Even the prospect of a "yuh" breaks when you look at many other Y words like "yale," "yesterday," "your," etc. As for W, a similar look will reveal that the "wuh" sound is just "oo" + whatever. tl;dr - Vowel sounds are a spectrum, some things we consider to be vowel sounds are just two vowels stitched together, Y and W always make vowel sounds when you take the time to break it down. I'm not sure how much this actually pertains to the rules and guidelines of what this video series has gone over, but I felt like this was a fair place to put this thought. Also, another thing that probably doesn't really actually follow what these videos were going for: C could easily be kept, but make it exclusively make the "ch" sound (by itself, not like a Q situation). People always say that C just does the job of K and S and that, likewise, CH can just be replaced with KH or SH, but why keep around some random rule of language to remember when you could just use the one thing that actually makes C unique and make that its sole purpose?

2:35 Great idea! Apply this idea more widely! Then you can halve the number of consonants other than h, by replacing half of them with the other half with h afterwards. Irish and Gaelic do something similar and if Irish and Scottish people can cope, why not English?

Something really entertaining would be if, as you made the changes to each letter, you changed the spelling of the captions to match the changes that you were making, to demonstrate how absurd it becomes, similar to Aaron Alon's beautiful video "What if English were phonetically consistent?" (Though that might be bad for accessibility - maybe you could make two versions that you can switch between?)
1:41 Literally y>i is changing a consonant into a vowel. W/y occupy the same weird glide/semivowel category. If you did it for y, you should do it for w
Me being Australian: "I was attacked 😢" (Australians say zed if you didn't get the joke) *I say zee, but don't tell the other Aussies* I do say zed sometimes tho..😅
You can definitely do better. K and G are similar, replace all k with g. M and N are similar, replace all m with n. Here’s a weird one: L sounds kinda like N, replace all l with n, maybe now the w -> u swap is viable. Also, every sound i can do, e can do or at least get close. Replace all i with e (yes, including the y). And o is pretty close to u as well, replace o with u. Final letter list: A B D E G H N S U
If the word already has an "I" after the "J" originally, just overwrite the "I" of the original with the "I" of the replacement, "GI". Sure, it might make the spelling the exact same as give, but we already have read and read. The same should also apply to any other replacement you come up with that has the vowel rule.
As a Brit I was fuming from going from "It's pronounced zee" to then "wader, budder, traidor". But to be reasonable: Those changes only make sense in American English. Furthermore, Something else you could change was getting rid of s to replace the sss sounds with c, and the zzz sounds with z; then replacing the k sounds with k. It has more letters, but at least it makes more sense.
You still have m _and_ n? Should've conbined then long ago. Also, if you don't want to replace consonants, then at least turn a into e. They sound the sene enyweys.
MODIFIED ALPHABET FOR ENGLISH Consonants: T/D, TH/DH (Ť/Ď), S/Z, SH/ZH(Ś/Ź), TSH/DZH (Š/Ž, P/B, F/V K/G, Y, W, H, L, R, M, N, and NG (Ń). Vowels: A, Ā, E, Ē, I, Ī, O, Ō, U, Ū, C, J, Q, X.
"A" should be replaced by "uh" "E" should be replaced by "i" The sound of "F" currently "GH" is similar to the "H" sound, so "GH" -> "H" "M" is similar to "N" but with a b like sound so "M" -> "NB" Also please consider "K" being similar to "G" so "K" -> "G"
