The funniest about this is that I once watched a video on interesting languages to learn and they were like “this language is super interesting because you spell everything the same as you pronounce it”… yeah like any normal language?
I understand languages get to change over time and once upon a time edinborough was actually pronounced close to it’s spelling, not the butchered edinbra of today. But why the fuck hasn’t the spelling catch up completely puzzles me, since no other language I’ve heard of has issues to the same degree.
that just about describes half the English vocabulary
I recently learned the correct spelling of the word prerogative and I still haven’t recovered.
at least it doesn’t have random h’s like thorough etc.
Burrough turned into burrow and borough, both pronounced differently to brow, rough, trough, thought and through.
I hate English.

Right? If the pronunciation changes, change the spelling too.
