Yeah, and for the love of God, it's probably, not probly or prolly. And on the same note, Com-for-ta-ble, not comfterble.

"It's a very difficult thing to get something accepted like this," says Alan Mole, president of the American Literacy Council, which favors an end to "illogical spelling." The group says English has 42 sounds spelled in a bewildering 400 ways.

Instead of 42 sounds spelt 400 ways, we would have 42 words spelt 400 ways because everyone pronounced the words differently.

not really. put /gut listen to the u sound, its different. I think its because english is a language that absorbs words from other languages while maintaining its germanic constructions.

English is originally Germanic, but then there are three waves of Latin borrowing (Romance), and the latest from the French (William the Conquerer, also Romance).
