minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoTbf, these spellings make more sense than the actual spelling. How tf is Lasagna pronounced lasanya? Fuck you romance languages.
minus-squareandscape@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoBold of an English speaker to accuse any other language of unpredictable spelling… Funnily, Italian is almost completely phonemic, meaning it’s trivial to both spell and read words if you know the rules.
