Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I'm sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

Death penalty for Oxford comma violations.

Um,,,,, valid. But nah I feel like the comma system has to be redone since people have such a hard time with it and it's pretty disconnected from thr way we speak.

I just think having to teach kids the grammar of a language they understand is a strange concept and there must be a better system than the mess of stuff I was taught.
