If you could make some improvements to your language what would it be? For Canadian English I would try to simplify it by replacing all words with "ph" with just "f" so "philosophy" would be "filosofy", replace words with "our" with "or" like "colour" to "color" and "laugh" and "laughter" would become "laf" and "lafter".

I would get rid of the letter "k" from the English language as as it sounds exactly like a "c" so now "kick" is spelt "kic" and "kill" is spelt "cill" and any words that use "c" to make an "s" sound would just use an "s" instead, now you have "spase" instead of "space".

The letter "e" would be removed from the word "have".

You can improve American English by making it English.

Why would you complicate things for no reason though?

Remove it. Conversations are now held through charades and the medium of dance.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
