Why would I get another kick? I didn't call anyone that. I just said that it would be harder to call people that.

You must be talking about the way people in Scotland (or maybe all of the UK) pronounce it. As far as I can tell, in the US "loch" is pronounced exactly the same as "lock" - the "ch" is a simple k sound.

We should figure out how changing the alphabet would chnage things other than how we spell things otherwise we should put these in Chat.

If we used 'x' for 'ch', then we'd have to spell 'box' 'boks'.
