English got fucked… hard… because so many of the spellings came from people that had weird goals.
Consider phial. Why do we spell it that way? Because some jackass decided that english needed to be more latiny and ph is more latiny than v. (or maybe it was greek? I don’t remember the exact etymology)
Okay I’m not even a native speaker so I’m not sure how much my opinion matters here, but while I like the general idea some of these are straight copium. “Overlordship” in particular is just… yeah.
