An example of my Finnish-based orthography for British English (State Anthem of the Soviet Union):

Juunaitit voorevör in vrentsip änt leipör,
Aa maiti ripapliks vil evör intsuo.
Tii kreit Sovjet Juunjön vil liv truu tii eitsiis.
Tii triim ov ei piipöl, tee vootres sikjuo!

(koorös:)
Lonk liv aa Sovjet matölänt,
Pilt pai tii piipöl's maiti hänt.
Lonk liv aa piipöl, juunaitit änt vrii!
Stronk in aa vrentsip trait pai vaa,
Lonk mei aa krimsön vläk inspaa,
Sainink in kloori voor ool men tuu sii!

Truu teis taak änt stoomi vail kreit Lenin let as,
Aar ais soo tii prait san ov vriitöm öpav,
Änt Staalin, aa liitö, vit veit in tii piipöl,
Inspaat as tuu pilt ap tii länt tät vii lav!

(koorös)

Vii voot voo tii vjuutsö, tistroit tii inveitör,
Änt proot tuu aa houmlänt tii loröls ov veim!
Aa kloori vil liv in tii mem'ri ov neisöns,
Änt ool tsen'reisöns vil onö höö neim!

(koorös)

Is it just me and my neurodiverse brain, or does everyone notice minutiae like this – and then feel compelled to blog about it?

What sorcery is this? 🪄 I often catch myself typing 'anough' for 'enough'. It's also closer to how I pronounce it. I may adopt this spelling out of spite. Does this happen in other languages?

Я тут про́сто скажу́, як я почува́юся що́до сього́днішньої орѳоґрафії́. Вона́ жахли́ва. Чому́ ми не може́мо писа́ти на́голоси всю́ди, ну, у літерату́рі. Це дало́ би нам ле́гшу мо́ву.
А ще, "Пряма́ мо́ва — це жах", скажу́ я.

A quotation from A. A. Milne

Because my spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 6 “Eeyore Has a Birthday” [Pooh] (1926)

My own #korean #orthography using latin alphabet.
Maybe final version?

Another example of my own #korean #orthography with latin alphabet: UDHR Art.I

모든 인간은 태어날 때부터 자유로우며 그 존엄과 권리에 있어 평등하다. 인간은 이성과 양심을 부여받았으며 서로 형제애의 정신으로 행동해야 한다.

Modın inganın teõnal tebuthõ cayuroumyõ gı conõmgwa gwõllie iça pyõṅdıṅhada. İnganın isõṅgwa yaṅsimıl puyõbadaçımyõ sõro hyõṅjeeyi cõṅsinıro heṅdoṅheya handa.

(Korean character)

해동의 여섯 용이 나시어 일마다 하늘의 복이니 옛 성인들과 같으니
뿌리 깊은 나무는 바람에 아니 흔들리므로 꽃 좋고 열매 많나니
샘이 깊은 물은 가뭄에 아니 그치므로 내가 되어 바다에 가나니

(My orthography)
