Because english is just semi random noises
Truer words were never spoken.
Most languages are, but english goes out of its way in being phonetically retarded
My favorite example is the word “yacht”
Wait there are people who pronounce women with an i?
Yes? English is only my second language, but the way I hear it:
Woman: Whoman
Women: Wimin or Wimen
The latter is much shorter.
Huh, for me it’s more like wuhmen vs wohman.
It was originally wifman and over time mutated to women, the I sound is vestigial of the old spelling.
Man in old English was gender neutral and Women were Wifman (from were we get wife) and men Werman (where we get the were in werewolf). So literally wife-man and man-man.
So the wi in women makes sense. I don’t know were the wo noise came in though.
Ghoti
Gh (f) as in enough,
O (í) as in women,
TI (sh) as in motion
Pronounced: Fish
Make it “Ghoti” with GH as in enough
Wait people pronounce them differently. I’ve been saying it the same way.😭
Am I the only one who pronounces them both with an I sound
Same. I was so confused by this meme.
English not being my first language, I can relate to that thought 😅
for the love of God please someone google what a schwa is before replying
We probably just nicked the words from different languages.
My dad always pronounced it “getbackinthekitchen”
More like woe-men am I right fellas
Do the sandwich joke next pls it’s a banger
Woman… woe-man… whoah, man!
She was a thief,

she stole my heart and my cat.
Betty,
