minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 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-up6·1 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. English can only dream of that.
minus-squareDamage@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoAs an Italian, it took me a while to understand things like spelling competitions in American movies…
minus-squareTheGreenGolem@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-21 year agoAs a Hungarian, me too. We spell everything exactly as we write it. Edit: the reply is right, of course we pronounce everything as we write it.

minus-squareMBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year ago Ask the English speakers who imported words like lasagna and baguette without changing the spelling to lasanya or baget. Worst of all, sometimes they change the spelling but only to remove the diacritics that tell you how it’s supposed to be pronounced
