Explanation
Glmkr doesn't
follow some basic English patterns. The sequence of two consonants that
begins this word occurs in English words, but it is never followed by
another consonant. English speakers would find this word unpronounceable
unless they inserted some vowel sounds. The spelling would have to be
changed because English spelling usually includes symbols for a word's
vowel sounds. (Not every language does that routinely (Arabic, for example.)
Adding some vowels could produce a more pronounceable name—Goalmaker,
for example. next
