I think this is a funny and cool idea, but there's quite big flaw: it doesn't have a clear baseline. Without context, "ABBA" basically looks identical to "DEED"

Also, if you go so far to create a new alphabet, you could also make it phonetic. Rather than this one, I'd like to see a phonetic syllable alphabet (like the Korean one) for English.
- SkyMarshal 8y agoI was thinking the same thing re: phonetic. Dotsies opening paragraph claims the latin alphabet was optimized for writing, but it wasn't, it was optimized for phonetics (if anything at all), which is useful to both reading and writing. However, we know from Korean and Japanese Katakana/Hiragana that phonetics can be generalized into syllables and don't have to be spelled out as in English/Latin. A Dotsies version of that would be ideal.
