Design critique of the alphabet

That alphabet. It’s been around a long time, don’t you think it’s time for a redesign? I still find it difficult to write the letter "s" perfectly? : Speak Up >The Alphabet Critique explains why:

"This was a great idea that lacks somehow in execution - or rather, it's just really difficult to maintain a good standard. With a maximum potential for elegance, both the upper and lower case are hard to reproduce as anything other than clumsy and unbalanced by anyone other than trained experts. Try it, make me a good S - it's hard! In the right hands, it's a sophisticated character, but horribly open to abuse."
