I mean, we can just make the languages simpler? We can also remove all the hundred different ways to pronounce English sounds. All elementary students will thank you for it xD

You can make a language simpler but old books still exist. I guess if we burn all old books and disallow a means to print these old books again, people would be happy?

Reprint them with new spelling? We have 500 year old books that are unreadable. 99.99% of all books published will not be relevant to anyone that isn’t consuming them right at that moment anyway.

Lovers can read the lord of the rings in the ‘original’ spelling.

		The point is that you still want the universal encoding to be able to represent such texts.
