That is really **the** annoying thing with French orthography: deciding
which final consonants are potentially silent and which are not. Any
reform scheme I would support must indicate this in some way, e.g. by
doubling the never-silent final consonants, so that _aout_ would become
_/ot_ in my scheme.
