Titolo: Re: Qual è la vocale muta in italiano?

 Mi spieghi perchè future si pronuncia con l'affricata ?
Va bene. Perdonami se userò troppi termini tecnici. 
Perché sì. 
Seriamente, o quasi? Non lo so, ma ci sono alcune parole, come "mature", in
cui le due pronunce sono ammesse. Forse la "t" deve essere nella stessa
sillaba della vocale, e solo davanti a certi suoni vocalici la "t" può o
deve diventare [tS]. Sparo...

What do you mean, of course we have rules!  For example, "'i' before
'e' except after 'c', or when sounded like 'a' in 'neighbor' and
'weigh'". But of course, every rule has some weird exceptions. :>)

English rules have so much exeptions to seem that there are no rules at all,
that is a funny rule for an ideographic language, as chinese or egiptian,
but a very sad one for a language which pretend to be phonetic.
The only rule that has sens is: one sound one sign.
The only rule that means something in english is: it was written so five
centuries ago, then let's do continue to write it that way even if now the
word sounds totally different, so you have: psichology, light, enough,
water, celt, of, could, do, one just to write some exaples, there are no
rules which might justify the way in which this words are read (why not to
read GH, read OU as A, CE as Ke, F as V, OUL as U, O as U, O as UA)
The only thing you can do is completly rewrite your language with cyrillic
alphabet, the latin one is so corrupted for you, than you cannot even have a
vague idea in which to use it in some rational way.

Amleto, are you familiar with the so-called Shavian alphabet, proposed in
the will of George Bernard Shaw? His will put forth a competition to create
a better alphabet for English, fully phonetic.
Short version is: the "winners" of the competition (there were four, whose
designs were deemed viable) shared in the 500-Pound Sterling prize money,
and an alphabet comprising elements of all four was produced.
To my knowledge, only one book was published in this Shavian alphabet (I
have a copy of it: it's "Androcles and the Lion") and I cherish it. In high
school, my girl friend and I learned it and sent notes to each other using
the alphabet. It was great fun, and proved a code that no one broke.
Although the 36 letters of the alphabet seem a daunting number, there are
valid similarities in like-sounding letters, and it really is not all that
hard to learn.
If you're interested in seeing samples of it, you can visit this web site
(it gives a slightly different story about the contest and the winners,
than that provided in the book "Androcles and the Lion" but it's
essentially the same idea.) There are links to other sites, and even
Shavian computer fonts available for free download.

Well, if we must change alphabets, I'll put in my vote for the Korean
alphabet over the Cyrillic, but I think we'll still have a big problem
with homonyms. "The foul (heir)(air) destroyed the castle which had
graced the city for centuries". Are we talking about air pollution, or
knavery, here? At least with our present system, we have a clue from
the spelling what the meaning of the sentence might be.
