You know what?

Fair

The English came up with a whole ass alphabet and don't even bother to use it right

What? The latin alphabet is not from britbongia, and I'm pretty sure nobody developed any writing system in those isles

You're right on the first half, but Ogham is from "the isles" (Ireland, but also used across western Britain), and I've heard Pictish symbols are a writing system, just an undeciphered one.
