Political revival of Cornish

Nationalist politicians in Cornwall are at it again.. like Scottish SNP. As a dead language, Cornish was revived to its current level of 3,500, started by Henry Jenner back in 1903

The Independent writes about the current state. Over 50 primary schools have been forced to become the politician buttress, and devote hours per week to teaching Cornish to pupils, what a waste of education time which could have been spent much better.

Title abbreviations

Mister became Mr., which dropped the punctuation to become Mr. Mrs and Miss combined to become Ms. and then Ms without punctuation.

How long till we simply go for M. ? and then Just "M Smith". The only problem is what happens when the first initial is needed and that is an "M", looks a bit silly as M M Smith.

Germany generaly does H. now instead of Herr so it seems only a matter of time.

English spelling irregularities

English spelling is pretty eccentric, I wonder if it would ever be possible to switch the spelling of words to a phonetic base. Would be hard as spelling is so engrained, and also many other countries speak English as their first language. However, other languages have tried to make modifications over time, i.e. like High German dropping the sharp-s character, so "Grüße" becomes "Grüsse", I still see the ß charcter widely in use, so the government trying to change may not necessarily make it successful. Also, do we really want to have to change languages back to just latin letters..?
