:Hmm, that's right and something I hadn't thought about (Fraktur/Antiqua). Anyway, spelling reforms are certainly welcome here.

I think using that african alphabet for English would be bloody cool. But it seems to lack dental fricatives, as well some necessary vowelage... --Vlad 04:58, 15 Oct 2004 (PDT)
Biscriptal orthography
Institute two different spelling systems, one for native words and one for foreign ones. Or put differently, spell Germanic words Germanically and Romance words Romantically. (Give some way to discern orthographies, I'm thinking maybe use italics.) [This may not even be necessary. Who knows? I'll discard it for now.]
Back when Swedish/Danish/German were written with Fraktur they used Antiqua (i.e. what we know as Roman) letters for non-Swedish/Danish/German words. The problem with using italics is that one then needs to use a lot of bold for emphasis and then also bold italic'. BTW italics read poorly on-screen IMNSHO.
