This is the problem with schools today. Okay ... take his premise that 'gh' is the same as 'f' because that is what sound we get in the word enough. But the rule is that 'gh' alone does not make an 'f' sound but it does when part of the 'ough'blend. Our language is not based on letters alone but also on specific blends. Here is a more widely known one, even today: "i before e except after c or when sounding like 'ei' as in neighbor or weigh." 'Ti' is not a blend that makes the 'sh' sound, but specifically it is the blend "tion" which sounds like "shun." He is not using the appropriate rules for blends. 😒 He is trying to be clever, but really he shows his ignorance of proper phonics. Growing up in the 80s, we had something like 13 charts on all the appropriate blends that we were taught in 1st grade (or maybe that was just for private schools .... not sure). Examples: St in stop Fr in frog Ar in star Ch in church Oi in point Wr in wrong Ing in painting Ould in could Etc "T" alone doesnt make the "ch" sound ... the blend is "ture" as in pasture or picture. There are oddities that seem random but still, you can't substitute the blends randomly. Example: Ear in bear Ear in ear (or weary) Ear in earth But you can't spell air as ear just bc of the word bear. There are rules.

idk, most romance languages are fairly consistent with spelling and pronunciation, even with the odd grammatical quirk. And Japanese kana are consistent by design... but then there's kanji. Georgian also spells consistently; you write how it is pronounced, no funny business.

[@ginogatash4030]

All languages have exceptions to rules of spelling but english pretty much has no rules but rsther suggestions.

​​@@MattJDavenot really, the す is often just pronounced s at the end of words, meanwhile it is pronounced and su in すみません for example. And there's many times were a kana is silent in the middle of words.

@@CarpetHater Ah, you have a point, the inconsistent 'su' and general usage of 'u'-ending kana like what english speakers would call consonants is indeed an inconsistency with kana.

English is an Amalgamation of other languages, that is why it is the most descriptive, because you can express words whose meanings were formed in nearly every place that thought exists. That is also why it doesn’t seem to have a simple phonetic scheme.

@@rorysmith1709 when nations realize their language is poop so they alter/change it

[@BrutusAlbion]

@@rorysmith1709 Usually a reform happens when the letters written are no longer the letters spoken, so a reform brings them back to how it should be so each letter in a word sound like the local speaker pronounces them.

[@ae3qe27u3]

​@@rorysmith1709 You basically take every word in the language and give them new, consistent spellings. You find them in languages that have a central authority, like French. English doesn't have a central authority. We had some partial spelling reforms in the 1800s in the United States. As dictionaries became more common, some publishers changed the way words were spelled to make things more consistent/similar.... like removing u from colour to make color

[@thorr18BEM]

​@@rorysmith1709 it's when America changed colour" to "color," "centre" to "center," "defence" to "defense," "plough" to "plow," "draught" to "draft" and "gaol" to "jail." Webster's became different from Oxford's.

Funnily enough, up until the mid 16th century colonel was actually spelled as “Coronel”. I’m guessing the spelling was changed to match its origin as the Italian word for “A Column of Soldiers” which was “colonello” but the pronunciation stayed the same.

[@Immured4]

i agree. because their our now roles

[@TombaFanatic]

There are rules, you just have to know the origin of the word. We copy whatever spelling rules the word comes from, but kind of like how Chinese has various dialects but set in stone writing, pronounciation varies depending on where/when you are from. Good language for empire building, make sure everyone can read the rules, no need to get too annoyed over how it's said

[@Slewdr]

There are rules. There’s about 150 of them. I know because I had to learn them to learn how to write English. It’s a deep orthography where the placement of the syllable is extremely important. It also depends on the context of the letters around it. For instance “a” makes three different sounds depending if it comes at the beginning or end or if it’s in the middle or if it is followed by two consonants and how the syllable structure is split. It only seems like there’s no rules because the education system in native English countries is really bad at teaching the rules but you do learn them if you learn English as a second language. This is not unique to English. In Japanese a lot of the characters are taught by just memorizing them. People born in Japan are not taught why the characters are the way they are often times. But if you learn it as a second language from somebody that learned it as a second language they’ll tell you the origins of the characters and it makes more conceptual sense. Sometimes you need an outside perspective to understand the language better.

[@tasy7470]

@@parsley8188 yeah but they make sense because unlike English, French has spelling rules, combination of letters form new sounds, etc... Learn the rules and you can generally spell most words. In English meanwhile, there is none of that, they just borrowed words without taking into account the spelling logics English had. Probably related to the fact that English never had an official spelling/institution in charge of standardising the English language. Sometimes in English an entire set of letters are skipped in the middle of the word for no explanations. There are also words borrowed from French that originally had no silent letters in it that English added for some reasons.
