Why is "peace" not spelt "pis"?
The most annoying is queue.
Such a waste of ueue just to say only "q"
And you who is reading this, I mean "u".
I have come to believe that the English language was a test of our sensibility.
They just decided that "look, let us give them rubbish. If they accept it, then they'll accept anything".
And not only did we accept it, we have set it as a criteria to be considered "educated".
And now they keep dishing out all manner of rubbish to us and we just ride with it!

"WON" is better than "ONE"
Lol, and WAN is even sweeter considering the way we pronounce it over here. Why is Aizik spelt Isaac?
Re: Word You Did Not Agree With The Spelling But Accepted by Gbadebo19(m): 4:13pm On Aug 20, 2025
There is no way I am ever going to agree with Bourgeois pronounced as Borjuasee and Soigne pronounced as Suanjay.

Same with that man utd star striker grin; huljlund but over here most pronounce it as hoodlum angry or hugelump

Re: Word You Did Not Agree With The Spelling But Accepted by Ofemannnu: 4:34pm On Aug 20, 2025
English spelling and pronunciation differences stem from a history of language evolution and borrowing, with spelling sometimes lagging behind pronunciation changes. The English language has absorbed words from numerous other languages, and while pronunciation may have adapted to English, the original spelling was often retained. Additionally, English has a limited number of letters to represent a relatively large number of sounds, leading to inconsistencies in how letters are used to represent sounds.

As for me they are many eg lorry why not Lori, water why not wota, money why not moni but I just agree just for peace to reign but I have also observed that even the peace is not sincere why not pis but let bygone be bygone

They will even argue that you are wrong.

The likes of

Lieutenant - Leftenant

Bomb - Bawm

Comb - Kome

Plumber - Plumer

Sword - Sord

Wednesday - Wenzday

are the one's that are very commonly mispronounced in Nigeria.
