Thats because the English language makes no sense. Lmao 🤷♀️🫠

Keeps you on your toes
-
Wow.
Thank you for that.
That's a cool fact.

It's "Pathific Othean!"
-
And bizarrely there are no ‘c’s in Rhye.
-
Oh man. I had enough issues with ‘cucumber’ 😫
-
Cool, love English and love the Pacific close by me.
-
If you had to settle for one pronunciation for all three, which would you go for?

Now was that necessary?

From sea to shining C

So spel it "Pasifik Ox'n"

Adding to my calls for elected officials. Thx.

Australia, amirite

Cool! I never noticed that.

And now I will be thinking about this while I am trying to sleep.
-
C is a useless letter.
-
Blame the vowels.
-
Similar to every ‘e’ in Derek Jeter’s name!
-
bruh
-
Just saying if our letters represented phonemes then a regular spelling pattern wouldn't even be a choice. Spelling bees would be history.
-
Oh, nice bit of info!
-
It is a big c, varied, is to be expected.

Same 4 Atlantic Ocean

Riding my Mercedes minibike to the Pacific Ocean . . .

In a field I once worked in, "troughs" in the market occurred periodically, and we were told management expected a severe one to hit soon. A colleague remarked that meant it would be a tough trough.
I asked: "I wonder if they have this tough trough thoroughly thought through, though."

And that ocean is not pacific.

Technically, it's just one sea :p

So now you’re out to get the oceans?

Although I thought the bough was strong enough to hold the cradle, I ought to have known by its soughing in the wind that the cradle would fall. 💨

Are you directing this pacific aggression at moi pacificly?
-
English language should just be entirely reset to Latin pronunciation, or switch to another writing system. I'm pretty sure there already is one that's specifically made for English language that solves this craziness.

Fore shore

true of ‘Atlantic Ocean’ too
-
Very specific.

Pachifich

Neato!

Now that I found the Webster Dictionary Bluesky account, I can finally ask, why do people drive on a parkway but park in a driveway?
-
Racecar spelled backward is racecar.

All 8 'O's in Woolloomooloo are pronounced the same though!

Depends if you pronounce it with the queens English or the common American copy of English.

Wow, really, M-W? You do this to me on Sunday?

Go eat some Focaccia.

This is why we should switch to Shavian.

Yet another data point about how useless phonics is in learning English.
-
The first C is pronounced as an s, but the second C is pronounced as a K like in Latin, used in ancient Rome-
Ah. It's only the first day of the week and I've already thought about the Roman Empire.
Damn it.

-
i feel like you’re gaslighting me by using the word every and not the word both when there are only two c’s and not more than two…
-
Why do you do this to me?
-
Cicadas say hello
-
When will the English language learn its lesson
-
I blame Trump.
-
by design
-
Be more specific.
-
Not if you’re Sean Connery
-
So’s every sea ‘in’ the Pacific Ocean.

Pacifically. 😉 (Sorry, only got part way down so undoubtedly already done. 🤣)
-
facetiously has all the regular and the sometimes vowels in order.

Are you trying to make waves?
