    You do have to be judicious about which diacritics you use, though, otherwise it goes back to being hellish to type.
    Like we already have some loaned words with ´ and ` on them, and it gets so confusing to remember which one to use that people just end up typing “cafe” and “puree”

      For sure, and phonetic spelling would mean either everyone types in their own accent and reading becomes harder, or everyone agrees on a phonetic spelling and we solved basically nothing.
