English spelling is a cluster*#$% Let's get into this a little deeper, shall we? "But it's not spelled that way" is one of the most common complaints about certain widespread native-speaker pronunciations (like nucular, expresso, and axe) that some people just really love to hate, in spite of the fact that the "correct" pronunciations of nearly every word in the language resulted from the very same processes. But English is the very worst language in which to make this argument! #accents #dialects #spelling #linguistics #sociolinguistics
