Mi ne pensas ke lingvoj kiuj usas ekskluzive la basan latinan alfabeton estas komprepeneblaj per si mem.

Ze riform iz komplit.

[Joker_vD → actionfromafar]

The [z] and [ð] are phonemically different in English, just as [i] and [i:] are, so it'd actually be "Ðe riform is komplijt". American rhotacism prevents us from spelling it "rifoom" as would be proper, unfortunately.
