If you studied the Book of Mormon, you would find that the reason they wrote in reformed Egyptian instead of the Hebrew they spoke in was because of the difficulty of engraving Hebrew characters on metal plates. Their reformed Egyptian characters were invented to make engraving easier and more compact.

Two problems - hebrew is a VERY compact writing. Second - produce examples of this 'reformed egyptian' John for comparison purposes.

Not only is Hebrew more compact, but ancient Hebrew is much more “blocky” and simple than any of the forms of ancient Egyptian.
