alt Hacker NewsAs a native in English speaker, I refuse to switch to the French keyboard when writing in French I just don’t bother with accents. Why can’t French just be normal and know how to pronounce words without any hints like we do in English?

It's actually the French who are being normal. And the rest of European part of Indo-European language speakers.

Une langue qui se simplifie sans arrêt n’est pas systématiquement meilleure.

Cough, though, tough, ...
Good luck guessing the pronounciation just gotta learn it. Clearly the superior system.

100% agree with you on that one. And while we are it, now that we live in the computer age, why aren't we huffman-coding the whole language? that would be heck of a lot quicker instead of all slowing down to help the bunch of illiterates who can't remember the pronunciations.
