Should q, x, and z be removed from the alphabet?

Question

Although this sounds silly, this is a serious question. I mean, couldn't you replace all of them with some other letter? Really, sebra works instead of zebra, and x-ray could always be some other lettered ray. What do you think?

Answer 1

Take them out there just there for looks.I mean hay if you have a z in your name it looks really cool.

Answer 2

The three redundant letters in English are C, Q and X. All the phonemes they represent can be represented by other letters or combinations
C - s, k or sh
Q - k
X - ks or z

Z is a phoneme in its own right and is not redundant. Be that as it may, other languages use the redundant letters for other sounds so they are not wasted. If anything we need more not fewer letters but we will just have to make do with what we have.

Answer 4

I dislike the idea. Q, X and Z are really fun letters. Let's dump some boring ones instead. mayb w could gt rid of th lttr "e" instad?

Answer 5

I think it's fine the way it is. X-ray isn't the only word that has an x in it.
