We have a way to correct mistakes in English and have publications to prove
it. Would you encode it?
And I was working with a group involved in English reform. I understand they
tried every which way to encode their version of English and failed. Is it
because it is English?

But that is the way Unicode does things. Unicode is not a
prescriptivist standard; it is a descriptionist standard. Good, bad or
indifferent, Unicode is there to let people encode existing text on
computers, not tell people what the right and wrong way to write is.
