Do you think that we chose to spell words the way they sound, or that people mispronounced or change the pronunciation of some words? Why don’t you see if you can handle this one yourself. I believe in you.

Look for the SOUND, not a particular letter combination you think makes the sound. It’s ENGLISH! We borrow from many different languages. Go, and see what you come up with!😊
