The numerous minor nitpicks I have with this scheme are a big part of what keeps me coming back to Urbit. The basic idea is so right-on that I can't help focusing on things like this: given that 2 billion people conflate "1" and "r", how on Urth did he settle on using those as primary distinguishments for every. single. brace. pair. O right, left and right.

Similarly, every c in that scheme makes me kringe. Unless those are "chab", "chen", "chol", "chom", "butch" etc. Which, affricates, meh.

This is of course the complement of damning with faint praise.
