What about similar oddities in English?
(This question is inspired by this comic by https://www.exocomics.com/193/ (link found by BunScientist@lemmy.zip))
Edit: it's to its in the title. Damn autocorrect.
How about we go with reed and red... see, you already know how to pronounce them!
Read and readed
Are reed and red taken?
We should be consistent and say "readed". While we're on the subject, why isn't the past tense of go "goed"?
Although the past tense of write is wrote, so maybe for read it should be rode.... dammit!
"well" is a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb and an interjection
its, not it's.
Words in which I can never remember h and g order:
Inconsistent pronunciation of "ae"
And many more...
Read should be said "read" and read read. Read, on the other hand, I would leave as is.
Façade is written using a letter that doesn't appear in English language keyboards (or in any other English word that I'm aware of).
You should wrede a book they wrote, and after you've wred the book, write your own.
Read and Reddit
English pronunciation is weird. It can be mastered through tough thorough thought though.
Put: "hold my beer"
Rob Words youtube channel is basically wtf english. And he has tons of content, and it keeps comming.
They should be spelled the way they currently are.
