I know, let's just merge all of our affricates and fricatives. We can merge cx with sx (because, after all, what's cx but t + sx ?) And we can merge c and s (for the same reason.)

Maybe we can merge our voiced and non-voiced consonants, so that s and z can be the same, and gx and cx can be the same... eventually, if we keep it up, we'll just have one letter to write over and over again.

1 letter = 1 phoneme is a lovely system. No one worries about the difference between allophones at the conscious level in any language, so why should Esperantists? Just because I can pronounce a velar N, a palatal N, and an alveolar/dental N doesn't mean that I'd know what they even were if I hadn't taken an Elementary Linguistics class, just like most speakers of any language where they aren't separate phonemes.

Sorry for feeding the troll... it just looked so hungry.
