saanich is optimized for typewriters, so at least it is optimized for *something*

surely it is better than the other salishan languages' practical orthographies, which all look like ts'qw'ts'ts7h'wsheqw7lheq'q'lh7qw7'q7'q7w'e7elhlheqw'7lhkw'lh7

That kind of orthography is easier than Saanich, tho, as the only special symbol you've included is the seven, which is found on a handful of commonly-accessible devices, such as computers, typewriters and braille punchers :|
