Just think if “written English is too hard”, the written words of the founding fathers of this nation will be lost to all but the linguist experts.

The Supreme Court and Politicians won't have to pay attention to the language of our Constitution. That document can finally “grow”.

There is a reason for holding to such traditions as our written language.

Why not jettison the Chinese alphabet instead?

Well you’re right of course, it just seems a shame that phonetics is lost in a jungle of a randomly-evolved alphabet. Not to mention that written language would be far easier to learn and use if there was some organization to it.
