BASS
We have a fish known as a bass, and it’s pronounced the way it’s spelt. Yet “bass” in a song is also spelt b.a.s.s. yet pronounced base.
One of them has to be wrong.
I can understand different spellings with same pronunciations.
Keeping with the bass theme to further my point
“The base of the ocean” “the bass in the song”. The two words “bass” and “base” we pronounce the same. But to avoid confusion and differentiate the two we spell them different, fine no problem.
But if we have two words spelt the same, we should stick with one pronunciation.
Silent Letters
Silent letters: some of them are just stupid. The name D’jango and Siobhan come to mind.
I love the quote in D’jango Unchained about the D being silent. But still there isn’t any point to spelling it with a D, might as well just miss it off and start with the J.
Daniel the name escapes my wrath, it hasn’t got a Y in it like it sounds but even so I don’t think every word needs to be spelt super hardcore like it sounds.
But Siobhan is pronounced Shevawn? You serious? Now that’s taking the biscuit. Maybe spelling it right wouldn’t be spelt Shevawn, my attempt at spelling it better than Siobhan still looks wrong to me who re-spelt it. But even so Siobhan is so far from how you actually say it it’s just utterly silly.
Hi my names Scdaootalooghdler, btw it’s pronounced Scootaloodle but Scdaootalooghdler is spelt right because it has silent letters
I mean come on!
