The reason I decided on using skwi, is because I've always been amused by the fact that the singular pronouns "me", "he", and "she" rhymed, and so did the plural "we", so I decided to continue that trend. On top of that, I had been reading about Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, and figured Squee's name would work. All I needed was to make it spelt a bit more phonetically, hence "skwi".

I like the idea of X being the TH sound. We could even make C into the CH sound, as it has no unique sounds of it's own (being either S or K, depending on whether it's a hard or soft C). PH, obviously, would be eliminated altogether. If I'm not mistaken, though, it seems as if we can still a plate of ghoti in New English. Can this be fixed, too?

This is more bumpage, since it was mentioned by some odd member in the Tavern...
