An Iŋgliš Orþografē Rēform

Anthony Rubino

Writing is our most effective method of communication, yet English has many complex and contradictory rules for doing so. This thesis project aims to make a case for standardizing English spellings for words based on current, common pronunciations for words by using letters from the extended Latin alphabet.

By creating speculative artifacts (posters and magnets) based on common learning tools for early childhood spelling, “An Iŋgliš Orþografē Rēform” seeks to persuade audiences to take on the else-world scenario on display, and possibly try to learn for themselves a new way of writing the language they already know.
