Thanks for tht reminder - most intersting.

One, at least to me, obvious problem with all this is the
spelling of plurals.

I was taught, not unreasonably, that in English, a plural is
formed by adding a final 's' (or sometimes an 'es').

The sound of that 's', though, while more often than not
voiced, is nevertheless unvoiced after unvoiced consonants,
so tiffs (keeping things vaguely computerish), tips, ticks,
pits rather than spivs, bids, bibs, for example.

Having separate characters for voiced and unvoiced 's' would
mean complicating the rule for forming plurals (pluralz?)
