Would you all like to confuse yourselves further with spelling--and pronunciation? I found this great poem a while back, written by G. Nolst Trenité. Not enough people know about it, in my opinion. It is called The Chaos, and if you read it, you shall see why.

The closer you inspect the individual words, the more you will notice.

Ok, I finally caught up, many laughs were had. I work for a Japanese owned company and we periodically get "loaner" (my term) Japanese employees who are only here for a year. I shared that poem with one of them, you should have seen the smoke coming off that brain! And that was a very well educated young lady who spoke VERY good English (from England no less).

You should see some of the pronunciations of Roanoke and Botetourt...

How about English town names like Worcester (ˈwʊstə), Leicester (ˈlɛstə), Gloucester (ˈglɒstə) and Norwich (ˈnɒrɪʤ)? These, among others, are very commonly mispronounced by foreigners.

Hey, you spell it your way, and I'll spell it mine! I'm kidding.

At least that's a nice phonetic spelling...

I would blame that on spell check, mine changes what I type so I have to go back and change it.
