I too love etymology, but the fact that me a somewhat literate native speaker can't remember how to spell French derived words seems like a bit of a problem lol (it's always French 🤣) This is why I like Shavian though, or just the idea of a new alphabet for English in general. Spelling bureaucrat as byuracrat would never not be seen as anti literate. But if you mask that spelling with a new script, it would lose that negative connotation. It doesn't lose its origin, like we (English) switched from the runic futhorc to the alphabet
