Ive razed for kids (mi last grad yu ates hi skool in Joon), and ovr the yeers, eech wun ov them haz askd, “Y dont we spel words like thay sound?”
After I re sited the hole speel behind the orijins ov the English languaje, the explanashun boild down to, ‘Becuz it iz wat it iz and yu just hav tu lurn how tu spel.”
Tunite, wile helping my teen with hiz report, I got tu thinking how hard it wood be to rite a post where al the words weer speld like thay sound. So, if yur wundering wi most ov the words look weerd in this post, blame it on mi teenajur and the weerd English languaje.
