Ameri*an mfs removing random letters from words and pretending they weren’t important
Tru dat.
Except for “bouy”, which they somehow pronounce with more syllables than there are vowels in the word.
English has no say in this. We have to learn every English word twice, once for the pronunciation and once for the spelling.
Yeah, I love how the French got to weird up English as well. Whenever you ask youself “Wth is it written/pronounced this way?” The answer is always “Word adopted from French.” 😸
C’est tout à fait vrai. Et nous continuerons de le faire!
English and French are on opposite ends of the spectrum of how predictable the pronunciation of a word is, based on the spelling. French may have a ton of extra letters, but at least it’s consistent. The english language has so many exceptions to its rules that you effectively need to learn to pronounce almost every single word separately.
