    Honestly moving to american english would be a good thing for britain. I’ve seen even native mfs failing to understand each other’s pronunciation. British english has something like 18 vowel sounds but only 6 vowel characters. Multiple letters have the same sound and a single letter can have multiple sounds. That’s not what i call an alphabet. Even american english has lots of unnecessarily complexity, but it made a step in the right direction. Ideally, many more such steps should follow.
