Pulmis

Pulmis was invented by Bobby Morris as alternative alphabet for English. It's designed to be as structurally simple as possible whilst maintaining a kind of phonetic meaning in the symbols. The name "pulmis" is a modified rearrangement of the word "simple".

and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory
