Our Life

Simple, somewhere is the anus of history someone sat down after grunting had been phased out and came to the conclusion that words should not be spelt as they sound.

For Eg

Phone……Fone
Car……Kar
Sausages….Sosajes
House…Howse
Island……Iland

How come the word "phonetic' isn't spelt phonetically? Hmm?

how comes Austin isn't spelt…..retarted?

or roadkill…..rowdkil

20

I keep hearin bout Austin he has obviously not just ruffled some feathers but plucked em out

Ostyn….lol

oh dear God Noooooooooooo!

Ostyn sounds like a place in Wales

xylophone, zilafone

Most people mispronounce words they misspell. I don't mean to be a grammar snot but I think the proper word you want to use is "spelled"

…or spellded

Being dislexic.. i absoulutly love the idea of things being spelt how they sound..

Its just another pointless part of the english language that makes it just a bit more complicated than every other lanugaue..

Did you know our lanuguage is most complicated in the world?

I thought Japanese or Chinese was the most complicated. One of them has about 50,000 letters/characters.

Just imagine doing your A B C's. You'd be there all week. Then at 49,976, you get it wrong and they say start again!

Onomatopoeia words usually are spelt like they sound.

Moo
Zip
Crash
TWAT

why are 'dough' and 'tough' spelled alike, but one is "doe' and the other is 'tuff'? shouldnt it be 'doe' and 'toe' or 'duff' and tuff'?

Yeah i did, and its a bitch to learn by the way.

I hate that silent e crap…What phone? FOUN.Or HAUS not house. Just read every letter…..

nope supposdly we are the most complicated… somthing about the fact that they are symbols is meant to make them simplier

Hey im not saying its true im just saying its supposed to be

Haven't you heard Russian?Or lihuanian? That's Hard It took me 1 year to speak fluent in english. and i am not smart at all

…. I repeat, im not saying i agree with it.. ive just heard that its the hardest language to learn

dough & doe 2 different things, maybe why they spelled differently. I agree with so many spellings sounding, spelled different, but meaning other things can make english a difficult language. [there. their. they're] so much fun!

doh! And why or why, what knobhead thought not being able to write your letters correctly should be called dyslexia:

or y,o,y wot nob ed fort not bein abel to rite yur letters corectly shud b called dislexer.

Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? Why is the act of declaring something to be worthless called floccinaucinihilipilification?

I think the people who invented words wanted to screw with everyone in the future. This can be seen in ordinary language, as well as long words that almost no one uses.

Imagined conversation among the people who first created the English language: "Hmmm, why don't we make some words spelled with an ie, unless it comes after the letter c or has a long vowel sound sometimes, especially with the long A sound like in weigh?" "Someone should make a poem out of that." "We can also have three or more different pronunciations for certain groups of letters ('ough' in cough, fought, though)." (maniacal laughter)

and what does YOUR twat sound like? hahahah

My twat? I wouldn't call it mine, I just captured it and imprisoned it in a toilet paper mummification type ordeal.

It goes "please let me out", because its too stupid to realise that toilet paper is not like rope.

"help me pleeeeeeeeez!"

chof chof

i know dough and doe are two different things, but i needed to find another word for dough that sounds like dough. doe was the phonetic spelling of dough. lol

d'oh

Er, sorry to be a grammar snot but "spelt" is correct as well.
