Imagıne that you woke up one day and notıced that the letters ı and ȷ no longer had dots. So you asked people about ıt and they had no ıdea what you were talkıng about. "You mean apostrophes? I guess sometımes people leave those out." "That wouldn't even make sense. Why would you put a punctuation mark above every ınstance of a partıcular letter for no reason?" People would thınk you had gone ınsane.

I swear on my lıfe that the letter r used to have a dot above ıt too.
