Saying you're down to do something means the same thing as saying you're up for it.

C / K / S. Remove X. Change letter names to match their sounds.
A / ugh / Ayyy.
B = Buh
C = Removed? It's just K or S in reality.
D - Dih
E - same?
Etc. etc. there's better linguists than an old school Grammar Nazi turned Language Darwinist.
I like the idea of removing upper and lower case letters too and changing their denotation with a new symbol, but I'd have to think longer about case studies or could be easily persuaded.
C has some uses other than K/S. The usage in "ch"ess, for instance. We'll have to shoehorn some other letter here if C is eliminated.
Or we may just reassign "c" to always sound "ch" since it's freed from other sounds, and save some ink, too 😉
Mmmm yeah that's that good shit.
