English spelling preserves history and etymology. Any standardisation of spelling would be equally wrong to the many different dialects and accents in the English world.
As foreign languages generally have a boring, monotonous number of accents, spelling can be standardised.

I really wish there were just a few extra letters in the English alphabet, or at least accent marks.

French influence is overstated because of the Latin influence.
English is roughly 30% French, 30% Latin, and 30% German. Really is a beautiful thing to be able to take the best of all these languages and make something truly amazing.

If English took the best from German (actually Saxon/Low German but whatever), it would use ß and capitalize nouns.

>30% German
You are retarded, borrowings from German are miniscule in English. Those elements that appear to be German are from proto-Germanic, a language English and German evolved from.

Wrong, many Asiatic languages have higher information density than English. (Vietnamese and Chinese for example).
Dylan Phillips
>literal German
Then why called it German? It's like German is the ancestor of all Germanic languages, which is a total horseshit. It's the same with Russian, way too many people think Russian is the mother of all slavic languages, which is totally wrong.
