What single addition would be most useful to the English writing system? (lemmy.world)

Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I'm sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

True that's also useful, Two letters has worked fine for a lot of stuff in English (th, sh, ch) I guess zh isn't a stretch at all for us. I'm kinda worried about vowels though since we have so many, maybe an addition like Cyrillic's ь makes sense so non is non but known is noьn or something

You could either combine vowels to make new sounds or use something with diacritics like å, ä, ė or whatever is used the most.
