Person, who made this meme, should be tortured til he learns how to recognise "be" and "bee" only by voice.

English has too many sounds for a language that contains only 26 letters and several dialects where people just eat half of the words. Honestly, i wouldn't mind to have maybe 3-4 new letters to just not have two different learning curves: one for reading and another one for speaking

No, what we need is stopping thief letters like c, q, and x

Don't forget those silent letters who completely fuck everything up when you're trying to learn the word.
