I would make the written English language 100% phonetic.

I would make SI mandatory in the US.

I would make one night a week a "have dinner with the neighbors" day.

Edit: I would make bidet toilets mandatory. Dry toilets would be phased out like cars without back-up cameras or asbestos insulation.

That's another way to say metric. Fuck the English system. Especially when cooking.

Nobody speaks written English, so how do we know it's not already phonetic?
