      Why would that change anything? Standard English is already the bar which it’s based on. Do you think other phonetic languages like Korean don’t have dialects?

      Just because the UK’s ability to speak English is fucked doesn’t mean the written language doesn’t have to be lol.

        well Korean does have that issue in some cases, such as 잎 being pronounced 닢. and it is standardized based on Seoul hemegony, while southern dialects speak differently from how it’s written. and then you have jeju dialect (jeju language) which is a whole other beast
