What would it look like, what would it sound like, what words (new or old) would it be used in...?

As a teacher, I am aware of the letter Duh. It only is used on true or false tests. It looks like a capital "T" with a "half-crossbar" in the middle to look life an "F." Read correctly (it is not a phonetic letter, more of a pictogram), it means "I don't have a clue about the correct answer, but could you give me full credit anyways?"

I would make th into one letter. It would look like a small h with a crossbar on top. It would be used everywhere that th appears. I'm just tired of having to use 2 letters when there is just one sound and it's such a common combination.

The letter would have Russian, Chinese, Latin, and native American qualities. I see a Chinese buffalo with a reversed R in the center and legs that resemble the letter J, Sounding like laughter it would replace words when arguing your point with racists and other buffoons.

I would make up a tetter that combines t & h together......and it would look like a t with an h placed over it (so that people would know right away what it is) and it would be used in place of th in all words.....and it would be called tuh.

Funny you should ask. I think the English language needs a letter that corresponds to the letter J in Jaques.
I've actually talked to one of my friends about it. She just laughs.

If you compare all languages...I don't think there's anymore sounds that we can "make up" I'm quite sure they're all used...or were used at some point. Including clicks, whistles, and anything else the mouth and throat can produce.

brrrr sounding, it would look like a wavy U. It would be made by vibrating your lips loosely as air passed between the. I''d call it what the sound is when you do the above.
It would describe the worst people and situations all by itself.

I think we have too many letters already!! How about getting rid of soft C, we've got S. Then we could use hard C for K words, because K is pretty useless anyway. We'd have nees (knees), nobs (knobs), noc (knock), nife (knife), etc.

IT would be a combination of Runes that spell my name because it looks cool.
