What about the word 'fashion' which uses 'sh' at the beginning of the second syllable?

Hi, good question, Tharushi. As in my many videos, I have mentioned that English is a mixture of different languages and it has many loan words because of what the pronunciations of words have also been influenced. Cutting long story short, the word "fashion" is not purely English. It has its roots in Latin and then in French. English has taken this word from French that's why it's not following this " English spelling rule". English spelling rules are only for pure English words. Hope this will help you.

fashion has two syllables. fash / ion. sh comes at end of syllable. so it is correct
