I never learned this, I can read all the examples easily though. They remind me a bit of Feersum Endjin by Iain M. Banks, and True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey.

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling by Mark Twain probably not
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter “c” would be dropped to be replased either by “k” or “s”, and likewise “x” would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which “c” would be retained would be the “ch” formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform “w” spelling, so that “which” and “one” would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish “y” replasing it with “i” and Iear 4 might fiks the “g/j” anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez “c”, “y” and “x” – bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez – tu riplais “ch”, “sh”, and “th” rispektivli.

Reading this caused me physical distress
Haha I love this. It breaks my brain, but the end result is so much simpler :D
I swear the final product is like how Spaniard kids that don’t know english write it.
Soo… Intuitive for Spaniards I guess? Having coherency in the pronunciation of letters isn’t a bad thing per se.
Hey, you said no x’s!
You missed the part where they were reintroduced:
