I was thinking about this the other day, like you do. scratchchin

For anyone trying to learn our language from scratch, and spell it correctly it must be a nightmare.

For example:-

Wouldn't

Why not Woodent or Woodant?


Yacht

Why not Yot?


Keep things simple surely?

I couldn't (could not) care less where the fk it came from, it should be spelt YOT...Common sense.

And yes, obviously I knew wouldn't is short for would not, I do have English "O" level you know....tongue out

If you want to go from Manchester to London you don't go via Newcastle, why make things more difficult than they have to be?

Keep things simple. teacher
