@matrix I wish english would use 20 writing systems that change based on 100 different arbitrary factors. But then some autists would still learn it to read "warhammer" books in their original version
@matrix actually when I think about it, english does have that for pronounciation
@teto yep, some English accents are basically incomprehensible
@matrix no. I don't mean accents or dialects. I mean this crap:
A classic example of English pronunciation inconsistency is the "ough" spelling, which can be pronounced in multiple ways depending on the word:
"though" → /ðoʊ/ (like "go")
"through" → /θruː/ (like "true")
"tough" → /tʌf/ (like "cuff")
"cough" → /kɒf/ (like "off")
"drought" → /drɔːt/ (like "bought")
"hiccough" → /ˈhɪkəp/ (like "hiccup")
