    English has no say in this. We have to learn every English word twice, once for the pronunciation and once for the spelling.

      Yeah, I love how the French got to weird up English as well. Whenever you ask youself “Wth is it written/pronounced this way?” The answer is always “Word adopted from French.” 😸
