Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I’m sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

      See, now I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. :)

      It would be fun to have an Italic font that leans the other way.

        It doesn’t seem like leanback characters exist for any ASCII or text encoding system. You might be able to develop ligatures to perform the function, but then there’s the issue of getting anyone to utilize it.

          Well, we are working under the hypothetical of re-working the whole system, so why not? ;)

          Hmmm… If you had a reversed font, italicized it, then reversed it again? 🤔
