Re: the world needs another English like I need another...

 I'm doing something similar with mine, but it's not going to be all that
extreme - I'm taking a bunch of ideas from Danish and French orthography and
throwing a touch of English in for flavour. There's a phonemic glottal stop
that's not indicated (except in rather rare cases), unmarked vowel length and
stress, D switches to eth a lot, T to thorn, and after certain approximants,
the final consonant becomes silent. That sort of thing. Vowels remain fairly
loyal to their values, but I'm gonna apply some chaos to them once my language
is set.
