When
I was a kid, I used to try figuring out in the English class, why there were
words with different spelling and meaning but to pronounce similar and those Ks
n Ps to remain silent in certain words, which I then felt difficult to follow. Well,
sometimes I feel I still do.
There
I have a friend from France, who often comes up with some harebrained ideas
that make me laugh n wonder at times. Every time we have our chats, it’s like
you teach me French, I teach you English kinda deal. But it never worked even
once in the past 2.5 years. But now finally she started taking English lessons
and one of her so called ‘such’ moments happened last week. And this time it
was with this language and the pronunciations. The rhymed confusion. Like for example if one says ‘Can you get me
flour?’ How do we know if they mean it
for a cake or a rose? And with another friend same week, I ended up little embarrassing but a funny one. I was telling him that I mourned n he
thought I moaned. Pretty confused. Rest i leave it unsaid.. hehe
So mind
your language… :D

Yes, happens a lot.I often wonder why spell the words the same if they are to be pronounced differently?In that case regional languages are way better :P
