Agreed, but...
LOSE
Man the english language makes no sense.
the sound in lose is the same sound as we are taught “oo” makes.
Couldn’t a more straightforward language be chosen as the global one ffs
My father (who had a PhD in English) used to tell me that "ghoti" was pronounced "fish"
GH as in rouGH
O as in wOmen
TI as in raTIon
How do you pronounce women? When I put those sounds together it makes more of a fush or fosh than fish .
Or do you say fish different than me?
"Wih-men." I think you're thinking of woman, the singular version of the word.
That isn't really consistent with English orthography.
But you can write "pfysche", and that would be consistent with English.
Looks like we can thank the Dutch language for that one
Looks like loose is from Germanic/Old Norse, "laus"
And lose is from Old English, "los"
Also looks like I can't stand to look at either of these words for a few day now.
From my tiny amount of research eventually it passed through the Dutch layer and ended up as "loose" from those origin points before being adopted into english
doesn’t matter what the root is. Just conform the spelling to fit your language’s rules
English? Rules?
We don't do that here.
GHOTI is pronounced as "fish".
Damn, I haven't seen that one in forever.
Kamala must change her name to commalaa
Loose could really be tightened up if it could just lose one of those Os
There's also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.
Loose is when your pants is too wide.
Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.
Lucy's loose legwear lost latitude, leisurely lowering, leaving Lucy's legs largely liberated. Lamentably, Lucy's lost leggings landed listlessly, loitering lifelessly.
Man looking a thesaurus is fun Lol
They don't sound the same at all though.
Lose - looze
Loose - luice
Interesting, I didn't know that. FYI, there's the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.
luːz - lose
luːs - loose
I think they sound different, loose ends with a curt "s" sound, while lose ends with a longer "z" sound.
Here's a poem you might enjoy: https://ncf.idallen.com/english.html
Silly poem showing its age,
Made totally sounds like bade
Ooh, also its accent, this is not a thing couplet for me
Nor it's immediate predecessor,
Parquet isn't in my vocabulary, but doesn't seem to rhyme with khaki in any common dialect either way.
